Through the combined efforts of the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator, a number of projects and initiatives were completed. • Successfully negotiated a new five year agreement with the Town of Chatham for the Management of Nauset Beach that provides for additional revenue for Orleans. • Received voter approval to file special legislation for a checkerboard sewering option as part of our ongoing wastewater management planning efforts. • Received voter approval to file special legislation for the Rt. 6A affordable housing project exemption of prevailing Wages. • Received voter authorization to modify the layout of Lots Hollow Road to permit the road realignment project to proceed as planned. • The first phase of the Police Station renovation project was approved by the voters and got underway by year's end. • Resolved the outstanding ownership issues surrounding the twelve Nauset Beach camps and developed a license agreement that will permit continued use of the camps for the next 50 years. The Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator also set and achieved many of the actions they had listed as part of their annual goals. • Completion of the Town Hall renovation and addition project and our support of the outstanding work of the Building Committee and Project Manager. • Completed negotiations on a new three year collective bargaining agreement with the Town's Clerical and Technical Union. Adoption of the draft kUU gnf policy by October 31St .rd development nt of on fiscally responsible operating budget for FY07. • Completion of the municipal landfill capping project and initiation of a review of the potential options for the reuse of the property for passive recreation. • Completion of the Skaket Comers/West Road intersection project. • Completion of a review of the Water Department fee schedule. The office experienced a change in personnel and positions when long time Office Manager Anne LeMaitre retired. Although Anne's title was Office Manager, she fulfilled many other roles over the years, both professionally and as a volunteer. Her expertise and dedication will be greatly missed. Nan Balmer was subsequently promoted to Office Manager and Marge Astles joined us as Administrative Secretary. 16 As we move forward, Orleans will continue to focus on ensuring that the residents and visitors of Orleans receive prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable customer service while retaining cost efficiency as a priority. We will strive to continue maintaining the services that we presently provide, while considering new initiatives that will either answer a need or improve current practices. The Selectmen and Town Administrator wish to thank the many citizens who have provided significant volunteer service to the Town. Without them, Orleans could not function as well as we do. And last, but certainly not least, the Board of Selectmen appreciates and thanks our dedicated employees for their hard work and professionalism which makes Orleans such a special place to live and visit.

Assistant Town Clerk, Amy Summers, left us in February after accepting the Town Clerk's position in Lynnfield, MA. In March, Kelly Darling was appointed Assistant Town Clerk, leaving the Orleans Building Department after 12 years. We then "pulled up roots" and moved across the street to the trailers, our temporary home for the rest of the year. Frequent trips across School Road to the vault were necessary to access the Town's permanent records. In October, we received funding from The Community Preservation Committee to start a three-phase project to preserve, catalog and digitize the Town's historic records. Along with our Annual Town Meeting and Town Election in May and two Special Town Meetings (May and October), we also held the State Primary in September and the State Election in November. A recount of the Primary Election results for our Republican State Representative candidate was held on October 2, 2006. The Town Clerk's Office continues to be extremely busy with passport applications; continuing to bring increased revenue into the Town (up 17%, 2006 Passport revenues of $23,400). Also the sales of shellfish permits and dog licenses were on the rise. Posting the weekly meeting schedule on the Town's website every Friday makes it easier for the citizens to be aware of the upcoming committee, commissions and board meetings. In addition to our routine "public" activities of registering voters, conducting Town meetings and elections, selling clamming permits, issuing dog licenses, registering and certifying birth, marriage and death records, issuing business certificates, raffle permits and gas storage tank permits, accepting U.S. passport applications and serving as the switchboard and information center for Town government, we also work behind the scenes in cataloging and preserving the ongoing and historical records of the Town. I hereby submit the following reports: 1. Town Meetings May 8, 2006 Annual May 8, 2006 Special within the Annual October 23, 2006 Special .

Mr. Fred Turner, Chairman of the Finance Committee, presented the following report: The Finance Committee, as per the Orleans Town Charter, does review all the school budgets and non-school departments. This year we've done the same thing as we've done in years past, and we find that everything is within the directive guidelines. But in doing our review, we did find that the next five years will put us into a situation similar to that that other towns on the Cape are facing, and that is large overrides. We look in '08, '09 and following years that due to escalations in energy costs, in health insurance and in contractual salary negotiations, that we will be facing some rather large overrides and we just wanted to report that to you. An example is that in the schools, in the Regional High School, the cost per pupil in '07 is going to be approximately $10,000 per pupil. When we look at five years out, that cost is going to increase to $15,000. So obviously, there are going to be impacts on the budget and we feel that now is the time for the Town to be looking at these increases and how we can deal with those increases. We feel that now is the time that we form a committee sponsored by the Selectmen and the Town Administrator, and we'd like to participate with them in that committee, to look at how we do business and how, if there is ay way, we can resolve this issue. Mr. John Fallender, Vice-Chair of the Planning Board presented the following report: 55 Planning Board Report on the Orleans Comprehensive Plan I would like to take a few minutes to give you an update on the Town's progress in implementing the Orleans Comprehensive Plan. The Town Plan was last revised by the Town Meeting in May of 2001. In the intervening 5 years, substantial progress has been made in a number of areas. We have noticed that in several areas our thinking on local issues has evolved to the point where it is time to update the plan so that it continues to be reflective of the best thinking on the many issues that the Town faces. With that in mind, the Planning Board is in the process of updating the Town Plan. At this date, we have updated the inventory sections with the most contemporary data available. Each chapter also includes an analysis section, and we've updated the language where appropriate. Many of you may recall filling out a town survey that was mailed to all households last summer. The results have been tabulated and the key findings have been incorporated into the Plan update. If you are interested, the results are posted on the Town website in the Planning Department section. As a measure of the Town's progress, I am pleased to report that 36% of the action items have been completed. These include the landfill capping, the decision to renovate the Town Hall, numerous changes to local bylaws, and the completion of the bike trail and bridge through Orleans. As you know, the Comprehensive Plan is used each year as part of the annual budget process. For the coming fiscal year, the Planning Board has recommended that the budget and Capital Improvement Plan focus efforts several Town priorities. These are: • Affordable Housing • Village Center Planning • Environmental protection, with an emphasis on Wastewater Management • Transportation & Parking • Open Space Preservation We are pleased to report that the Town Plan is being used as was intended, as a blueprint for the orderly growth and protection of the Town. It is the Planning Board's intention to have a draft of the 5-year update available for your review and comments this summer. We will schedule several public hearings to ensure that every resident has an opportunity to be heard. If all goes well, the update will be brought before the next Town Meeting for approval. In all our work, be assured that the Planning Board can only make solid progress for Orleans future with the input and consent of our fellow residents. ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously.

PLANNING BOARD REPORT. am Sims McGrath, Chairman of the Planning Board. You may recall that last year's Town Meeting contained several Zoning amendment articles that had significant impacts on growth. The Planning Board was gratified that voters approved all of the articles. Many of them were complex in nature and we appreciated your forbearance. This year, there are 6 articles, but they are primarily administrative in nature and designed simply to make the existing bylaw function better. We hope to present them to you in an expeditious manner. For each article, I will tell you what the problem that was 68 encountered in the bylaw, and how the proposed Zoning amendment provides a solution. Back in January, the Planning Board held a public hearing on all of the six proposed Zoning amendments. We received valuable input from many interested residents. The six articles were unanimously approved by the Planning Board and recommended for adoption. Now on to the article.: Article 23 is a reorganization of the table of allowable uses. The table describes what types of uses are permitted in each of the Zoning Districts of the Town. In the table that appears in your Warrant beginning on Page 64, you will see headings across the top that refer the zoning districts. R is for Residential, the dominant district in Orleans; RB is Rural Business, LB is Limited Business, GB for General Business. The Town's zoning is crafted so that each district serves a community purpose, and it has been accepted that certain uses are only appropriate within certain districts. The problem: The existing use table is difficult to understand. It contains gaps in the table that could be exploited by someone who wanted to establish a use that may have a negative impact on the town. We've proposed to reformat the use table for ease of use by residents, applicants, and the Zoning Enforcement Officer. There is no intent to change the allowability of any particular type of use, but simply to correct the way the information is presented so that it is clearer. The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 24, 2006. 18 residents were in attendance. The Board voted unanimously to forward this article to the Town Meeting and recommend its approval. To explain this better, I would ask the Moderator to recognize the Planning Director to use a couple of brief slides that should help explain the problem and how we've proposed to solve it. ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously. ARTICLE E THE 1 YL SECTION 164® 9 APPLICABILITY To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw §164-3, Applicability, by striking the existing Section C in its entirety and inserting a new Section C. to read as follows: C. Nonconforming Structures and Uses. Legally preexisting, nonconforming structures or uses may be continued, in accordance with G.L. c. 40A, §6, subject to the following: 1. Alteration Reconstruction (which shall include raze and replacement), Extension or Structural Change (collectively "alteration") to Nonconforming Single or Two Family Residential Structures. Nonconforming single or two family residential structures may be altered, reconstructed, extended or structurally changed provided that such alteration does not increase the nonconforming nature of such structure. (a) In the following circumstances alteration to a nonconforming single or two family residential structure shall not be considered an increase in the nonconforming nature of the structure and shall be allowed as of right: i. Alteration to a structure which complies with all current setbacks, yard, lot coverage and building height requirements but is located on a lot with insufficient area, where the alteration will also comply with all of said current requirements. 69 ii. Alteration to a structure which complies with all current setbacks, yard, lot coverage and building height requirements but is located on a lot with insufficient frontage, where the alteration will also comply with all of said current requirements. iii. Alteration to a structure which encroaches upon one or more required yard or setback areas, where the alteration will comply with all current setback, yard, lot coverage and building height requirements; the provisions of this subsection shall apply regardless of whether the lot complies with current area and frontage requirements. iv. Alteration to a structure which will not increase the footprint of the existing structure provided that existing height requirements shall not be exceeded. (b) Except as otherwise set forth in (c) below, alteration to a nonconforming single or two family residential structure that increases the nonconforming nature of the structure may be allowed on Special Permit from the Board of Appeals provided the Board of Appeals finds that such alteration will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming structure. (c) Alteration to a nonconforming single or two family residential structure in such a manner as to:. 7) create a new dimensional nonconformity, or 8) intensify an existing nonconformity by extending further into a required setback area, or 9) increase the height of the structure greater than the allowed height, shall require the issuance of a variance by the Board of Appeals and the Special Permit finding required under subsection (b). Provided, however, the extension of an exterior wall or surface of an existing structure at or along the same nonconforming distance within a required setback area shall not require the issuance of a variance. 2. Alteration, Reconstruction. Extension or Structural Change (collectively "alteration") to Nonconforming Structures Other than Single and Two Family Structures. Other nonconforming structures or uses may be altered, reconstructed, extended or structurally changed on Special Permit from the Board of Appeals if the Board of Appeals finds that such alteration will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming structure or use. The alteration of a nonconforming structure in such manner as to create a new dimensional nonconformity or to intensify an existing dimensional nonconformity, shall require the Special Permit finding and the issuance of a variance by the Board of Appeals. 3. Restoration. A nonconforming structure or use may be reconstructed or reinstituted if destroyed by fire or other casualty if reconstructed or reinstituted within a period of two (2) years from the date of the catastrophe, or else such reconstruction must comply with this chapter. 4. Abandonment. A nonconforming use or structure which has been abandoned or otherwise discontinued for a period of two years (2) years shall not be reestablished, and any future use of the premises shall conform to this chapter. 5. Reversion. Once changed to be conforming, no structure or use shall be permitted to revert to a nonconforming structure or use. Or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 Vote Required) MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #24 as printed in the warrant and the Zoning Bylaw be so amended. 70 Planning Board Report. This article would amend the section of the bylaw that provides guidance on changes to nonconforming uses and structures. Presently, the Zoning Bylaw contains a single paragraph that describes the rules by which nonconforming uses and structures may be altered. This is considered deficient, and Town Counsel has drafted new language that appeared in the Article. Nonconforming uses and structures were established before the enactment of zoning regulations, and so are protected under so-called grandfathering provisions of State Law. An example of a nonconforming use would be a business that is located in what is today a residential neighborhood. A nonconforming structure would include any building that does not meet building setback requirements, or one which exceeds the building height limit. The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 24, 2006. 18 residents were in attendance. The Planning Board voted unanimously for this article because we think clarity is needed in this area. Again, because I would like to spare you from listening to a lengthy explanation, I would ask the Moderator to recognize the Planner to use a few slides to explain what is being proposed. ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously. ARTICLE E ND ZONING BYLAW CM. 164-3 — OFF STREET PARKING REGULATIONS To see if the Town will vote to amend the Orleans Zoning Bylaws section 164-34.B.1 by adding the following text: 164-34.6.1: Performance requirement. Off-street parking must be provided to service the net increase in parking demand created by new construction, additions or change of use. Buildings, structures and land uses in existence on May 4, 1981, are not subject to these requirements so long as they are not enlarged or changed to increase their parking needs. A site plan shall be filed with any permit or Special Permit application involving or requiring parking, identifying individual spaces, access lanes and egress. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any addition or alteration or change in use of an existing building, structure or use of land which is in compliance with this chapter, that results in an increase in required off-street parking of less than 6 spaces, shall not be required to provide those spaces. If an increase of six or more spaces is required, all of the spaces must be provided. New Construction for the purposes of paragraph B(1) shall include alterations of existing buildings or structures, or the construction of any new building or structure, and the establishment of the use thereof. [Amended 5-13-1996 ATM, Art. 231 MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #25 as printed in the warrant and the Zoning Bylaw be so amended. Planning oar Report: This article proposes a change to the parking regulations. As you know, every development is required to supply its fair share of parking. Presently the bylaw contains a flexible clause that allows expansions of businesses which require fewer than 6 new 71 parking spaces to be approved, even if the business is unable to provide any new spaces on the ground. This so-called "6 space rule" has been used to allow minor expansions of businesses that are located on small parcels and cannot provide parking. The Problem: Businesses that have little or no parking may presently take advantage of the flexibility clause time and time again. Over time, as the expansions occur, the resulting parking demand gets transferred to neighboring properties, as patrons seek a convenient place to park for the business. The Solution: The amendment would allow a business to expand only if it is presently in compliance with the parking requirements. This seems reasonable, and will prevent incremental additions to businesses that shift their parking demand onto their neighbors. The 6-space rule essentially becomes a one-time exception. The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 24, 2006. 18 residents were in attendance. The Board voted unanimously to forward this article to the Town Meeting and recommend its approval. ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously. ARTICLE 26. AMEND ZONING YLA CH. 164-2 — SITE PLAN REVIEW To see if the Town will vote to amend the Orleans Zoning Bylaws section 164-33 Site Plan Review by adding the following new section 164-33 IV K° 164-33.I .K Parking Interconnections Parking areas of twenty (20) or more spaces shall provide or provide future planned accommodations for interconnections where feasible, to adjacent parking areas. As a result the total number of parking spaces required for the proposed project can be reduced by 10% Or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 Vote Required) MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #26 as printed in the warrant and the Zoning Bylaw be so amended. viannit® t�ard e/5o�is The Problem: Adjacent parking lots are separated from each other, making it necessary for patrons to exit the parking lot and enter the adjacent lot from the street. This adds to traffic congestion on the roads and is inconvenient to residents. The Solution: The zoning amendment will require planning for interconnections between large parking lots as part of the Site Plan Review for proposed commercial developments. Parking lots that contain 20 or more spaces must provide or plan for interconnections to adjacent parking areas. An interconnection is simply a driveway between two parking lots that allows for site traffic to circulate conveniently between the lots without the need to re-enter the public roadways. There are several informal parking interconnections in town at present, and this article will also prevent the loss of those connections as redevelopment occurs in the future. An allowance is made for space required for the interconnecting driveway, in that the parking requirements for the business may be reduced by 10%. 72 ` The Planning Board held 8 public hearing DO January 24, 2006. 18 residents ' were in attendance. The Board voted Un8OiO1OUSlV to forward this article to the Town Meeting and recommend its approval. ACTION: VO0Bd, voice vote carries UD3DinlOUs|y.

(2/3 Vote Required) MOTION: To accept and adopt Article # 27 as printed in the warrant and the Zoning Bylaw be so amended. Planning oar eport: The Architectural Review Committee has been in existence for 15 years. The committee reviews plans for all new commercial buildings to ensure that they will be compatible with the character of the community. Exempt from review are single family homes, buildings in the Industrial District, and the area already regulated as the Old Kings Highway Regional Historic District. In its deliberations, the committee relies on a set of Design Criteria that describe the various aspects of good architectural design. The Problem: The Design Criteria are vague so as to provide neither the applicant nor the review committee with a clear understanding of what is expected. The procedures spelled out in the bylaw are also outdated. The Solution: The article proposes rewriting the Design Criteria so that they are clear for both applicants and the review committee. In addition, the amendment will require the Review Committee to make a specific finding that each proposal meets the overall intent of the Design Criteria before it is approved. Minor changes are proposed to the Procedure section to reflect project flow and review. The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 24, 2006 with 18 residents in attendance. We think this will be a good upgrade for the Town and will protect existing properties. Good design is beneficial to the community in a variety of ways. The Architectural Review Committee has reviewed the proposed amendment and recommends approval, as does the Planning Board. ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously. 77 ARTICLE 28. AMEND ZONING BYLAW CH 164-4 - DEFINITIONS To see if the Town will vote to amend the Orleans Zoning Bylaw section 164-4, Definitions, by inserting the following new definitions: Chane of Use: Either the establishment of a commercial use in an existing commercial or industrial space where the resulting commercial use constitutes a different use category than the existing commercial use pursuant to the use regulation schedule at 164-13, or a use which by reason of its normal operation would cause readily observable and substantial differences from the existing use in one or more of the following: patronage, service noise employment appearance parking traffic or other similar characteristics. Interconnection: A physical connection resembling a driveway, between two parking lots or parking areas either private or public that allows for site traffic to circulate conveniently and safely between the areas without traveling on or crossing public roadways. (2/3 Vote Required) MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #28 as printed in the warrant and the Zoning Bylaw be so amended. Planning oar eport: This final zoning article proposes two new definitions: Change of Use and Interconnections. A Change of Use is a threshold for Site Plan Review and for Special Permit requirements for certain commercial uses. The first part of the definition is that a use appears in a different category of the Table of Uses. This is straightforward. The second part of the definition has to do with impacts. Where there will be observable and substantial differences in customers, noise, traffic or other characteristics, a proposed use will be deemed a Change of Use, which may trigger the Site Plan Review or Special Permit process. The definition of an Interconnection is in reference to Article 26 which was addressed previously. The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 24, 2006. 18 residents were in attendance. The Board voted unanimously to forward this article to the Town Meeting and recommend its approval. ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously. ARTICLE 29.

ARTICLE 36. RESOLUTION — UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROPOSAL (BY PETITION) Whereas, Health care coverage has become less affordable and less available to growing numbers of people in our community, despite all efforts to date at both the state and federal level; and Persons who lack adequate health care coverage faces increased risks of illness, disability, and premature death. Our region has well above state-average rates of uninsured and underinsured people; and Families of such individuals are faced with growing out-of-pocket costs. These families must now confront the soaring expenses of health coverage, and the worry about bankruptcy or impoverishment in the event of serious illness. Their caregiver stress increases with the need to provide more and more uncovered care; and Businesses face the soaring expenses of covering their employees' health premiums, passing some of these costs along to employees in the form of rising premiums and out- of-pocket payments. Our regional predominance of small businesses and self-employed individuals is, understandably, a key factor in the low rates of health care coverage; and Town governments struggle with the costs of health coverage for town employees. We the people are regularly forced to choose among other important and accustomed community services for budget cuts; and Community health care providers and institutions are caught in the inescapable financial squeeze of rising administrative costs and declining reimbursements. They are forced to reduce staffing, cut services, or close. Access to care of all they serve is diminished. Whereas, Consequences represent losses in quality of life for many (if not all) members of Cape and Islands community, and a threat to our collective welfare. 82 Therefore: We petition our County Government to support the development of a proposed regional universal health care program, known as Cape Care, which would, at a minimum, meet these criteria: • provide broad health care coverage for ALL residents of the Cape and Islands, to improve individual and community health; and • control health care cost inflation by reducing excessive administrative expenses, as well as through bulk discount purchasing of necessary medications and medical supplies; and • shape health care delivery to meet community needs for appropriate care, through a representative policy-making board of community members and health care providers; and • strengthen the ability of our existing network of health care providers and institutions to provide high-quality care, by assuring adequate funding for necessary services. Call for the public hearing process in Barnstable County to include analyses of the proposed plan's organization and governance, its expected effects on community health, and its financial modeling, to be initiated by the end of the year 2006. Clerk of the Town is instructed to give Notice of Passage of this Resolution to the town's representative to the County assembly of Delegates, the County Commissioners, and the state and federal Representatives and Senators, within 30 days Or to take any other action relative thereto. (Simple Majority Vote Required) MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #36 as printed in the warrant and the Town Clerk be directed to notify, within 30 days, the Town's representative to the County Assembly of Delegates, the County Commissioners and the state and federal Representatives and Senators of adoption of this resolution.

AUTHORIZE EASEMENT— ORLEANS YACHT CLUB (BY PETITION) To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen to grant a right-of- way/access easement in, over, and upon Town property referred to as the Town Cove Landing and Parking Lot at the end of Cove Road extension and shown as parcel 11 of the Town of Orleans Assessor's Map 34, to the owners of the land (Orleans Yacht Club, Inc) shown as parcel 12 on the Town of Orleans Assessor's Map 34; such easement to be on terms and conditions as the Board of Selectmen deem appropriate, or to take any other action relative thereto.

The legislative acts of the Regional Government are in the form of ordinances or resolutions, in accordance with the Barnstable County Home Rule Charter. Each town in the County is duly represented by an elected Delegate who resides in the respective town. Delegates are elected for two-year terms starting on January 1St of each odd-numbered year. The Assembly of Delegates holds regular meetings on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 4:00 PM in the First District Courthouse in Barnstable MA. Each Delegate casts a weighted vote based on the 200 U. S. Decennial Census, with the Town of Barnstable having the largest voting percentage (21.52%) and the Town of Truro having the smallest (0.94%). The weighted percentage vote for Orleans is 2.85%. In 2006, Thomas Bernardo of Chatham served as Speaker of the Assembly of Delegates and Dennis Fonseca of Sandwich served as Deputy Speaker. Delegates are assigned by the Speaker to Standing or Ad Hoc Committees to assist in the transaction of Assembly of Delegates business. In 2006 there were six Standing Committees and one Ad Hoc Committee in operation, as follows: Standing Committees on Finance, Natural Resources, Economic Affairs, Public Services, Health and Human Services, and Governmental Regulations; Ad Hoc Committee on Charter Review Report. The Orleans Delegate served on the Natural Resources (Chairman) and Health and Human Services Standing Committees. The Assembly of Delegates reviewed and, with only minor amendments, adopted the Fiscal Year 2007 Barnstable County Regional Government Operating Budget and Capital Plan as proposed by the Board of County Commissioners. The approved budget of $26.7M reflected a few minimal departmental budget increases as compared to FY06. In addition, throughout the year, several supplemental appropriations were approved for various water quality initiatives using FY06 set-aside funds for Growth Management. The new Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative received funding for logistical support, for a public education campaign on wastewater management needs, and for the purpose of 109 hiring an Executive Director. Other Growth Management initiatives receiving supplemental funding included the beach monitoring program, the Ponds and Lakes Stewardship (PALS) Project, and a $100,000 match for the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP). A survey of second home owners and a pre-disaster mitigation planning project also received supplemental funding. The Assembly also amended the process steps and timeline for reviewing and adopting the annual budget, to take effect with the Fiscal Year 2008 budget review process. A District of Critical Planning Concern (DCPC) in the Pond Village area of the Town of Barnstable was approved this year by the Assembly of Delegates. In addition, the Cape Cod Commission's Enabling Regulations governing Development of Regional Impact (DRI) reviews was amended, allowing for the application of a cumulative DRI threshold in the newly established Growth Incentive Zone (GIZ) for downtown Hyannis, the first of its kind on Cape Cod. The Ad Hoc Committee formed to review the Charter Review Committee Report (November 2005) reported its recommended amendments to the County Home Rule Charter to-the Assembly by ordinance in July. The proposed Charter amendments were approved and will be put before the voters at a future election.

Hull, Assessor 110 BIKEWAYS COMMITTEE The Bikeways Committee Charge is to preserve, promote, and enhance the Town's biking and walking resources by: • Actively monitoring existing bike and pedestrian routes providing recommendations to the Board of Selectmen for improvements as related to user safety, as well as the need for future bike and walking routes. • Assisting in the implementation of these recommendations. • Sponsoring or assisting projects intended to support the growth of safe cycling and walking in Orleans and on Cape Cod. The Committee believes that bicycling and walking are important means of local transportation and are popular activities in the Town for residents as well as seasonal visitors and has worked on the following initiatives in 2006. Actively monitored the Orleans section of the Rail Trail, working with Town and State Officials, to ensure the safe crossing of main arteries and the beautification of the Rail Trail with the addition of new trees, landscaping and maintenance. Worked with AmeriCorps to cut back brush intrusion and weed growth along the Rail Trail. Aided in the promotion and safe growth of cycling in Orleans by sponsoring events such as the Sixth Annual Coast to Coast Bike Tour. Created International Bike Rodeo and Safety Training CD and Safety Brochure for our International Summer Workers; teaching them the rules of the road and the importance of having proper night visibility/lights and wearing a bike helmet. Collaborated with the Orleans Chamber of Commerce to provide prizes to participating workers. Participated in regional meetings with our neighboring towns' Bikeway Committees and State Officials to establish lines of communications and to explore opportunities for obtaining funds and resources to improve Rail Trail maintenance and interconnecting bike routes including developing a Friends of the Trail group. In support of the Comprehensive Plan, the committee has been looking at the various options to link East Orleans, South Orleans and the Bakers Pond area with the Village Center for bicycle and pedestrian access and to make Orleans more biking friendly. Worked with the Nauset Rotary Club on the first Rotary Club Tour de Trail promoting the Cape Cod Rail Trail and supporting local safety programs. Respectfully submitted: Alison Flynn, Chairman BOARD OF HEALTH 2006 was a year of change for the Board of Health and the Health Department. In May, after serving 21 years on the Board of Health, Gail Rainey did not run for re- election. The knowledge of history, understanding and direction Gail brought to the Board throughout the years was beyond compare, including her unique gift of 111 balancing needs of the individual versus the long term benefit for the Town of Orleans. These gifts will be sorely missed by both the Board of Health and the citizens of Orleans. In May Ms. Rainey received the Orleans Citizen of the Year award from the Board of Selectmen. Sadly, Ms. Rainey passed away in June, 2006. • In May, Sims McGrath was elected to serve on the Board of Health. • In November, Assistant Health Agent Pat Ballo retired after 20 years of service. • In December, Erika Woods was appointed as the Assistant Health Agent for the town. Considerable effort was devoted to the continued development of the Board of Health Emergency Response Plan. Six wild animals collected within the town were submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and tested positive for rabies. Education efforts continued to inform all citizens of Orleans that if not properly treated, rabies is frequently a fatal viral disease. The rabies virus lives in the saliva and nervous tissues of infected animals and is spread when they bite or scratch. The virus may also be spread if saliva from an infected animal touches broken skin, open wounds or the lining of the mouth, nose or eyes. If at any time an individual believes he/she may have been exposed to rabies, the Board of Health recommends that the individual immediately consult with his/her Medical Provider. The Board of Health continued to remind residents of a few precautions that can reduce the risk of exposure to rabies: all dogs and cats should be vaccinated, wild or stray animals should not be approached or fed, trash should be stored in rodent proof containers, pets should not be fed outdoors, pets should not be left outdoors unattended. In cooperation with the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment, the Board of Health continued its weekly surveillance of the water quality of the town's 12 bathing beaches. Of the 159 samples analyzed, three exceeded the bacteriological limits for bathing beaches, resulting in one site being closed for one day, and a second site being closed for two days. The Board of Health continued to contract with the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment for professional services. These additional inspections have assisted the Health Department in handling its workload more efficiently. Also, the Board of Health was represented on the Water Advisory Board, Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Council, Cape Cod Rabies Task Force, Wastewater Management Steering Committee, Health Agents Coalition, Site Plan Review Committee, and Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan Technical Resource 112 Committee. The Board also administers the town's contract with the Cape Cod VNA which provides public health nursing services to Orleans residents. Responsibilities of the Health Department staff included: the inspection and regulation of all permits issued by the Board of Health, response to and investigation of all complaints pertinent to public health, housing inspections, involvement in the town's Emergency Response Plan, administration of underground storage tank regulations, filing and investigation of communicable disease reports, sampling of recreational waters, and attendance at Board of Health and other meetings pertaining to public health.

The Board also thanks the Cape Cod Commission for its assistance, Karen L. Bohon, D.V.M., The Animal Hospital of Orleans, who administered the vaccine at the Board's annual rabies clinic, and Duane Boucher, Animal Inspector. 2006 was a busy and productive year for the Department and the Board of Health. Respectfully submitted, Jan Schneider, MD, Chairman 113 BUILDING CODE BOARD OF APPEALS The Orleans Building Code Board of Appeals' purpose is to formally review and grant relief from, if appropriate, the literal interpretation of the Massachusetts State Building Code by an Orleans building official. The Board operates under the criteria set forth by the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards and is comprised of professionals from the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction.

The CTTAC assisted in justifying the purchase ($28K, Cable Reserve Fund) of portable audio/video equipment to be used for videotaping Board of Selectmen meetings held in the American Legion building during renovation of the town hall, and, subsequently, to enable videotaped cable television coverage of events and activities happening outdoors or in buildings other than town hall for showing on "Orleans Community Access" (Channel 18), when activated in 2007. The purchased components included a Sony AnyCast System ("studio in a suitcase") and three digital camcorders with tripods. This new portable capability was used initially for the BOS meeting held in the American Legion building on April 19th; videotaped coverage of these weekly meetings continued throughout the remainder of the year. (The final "live" cablecast from town hall was conducted April 12th prior to dismantling the fiber optic connectivity in preparation for starting the renovation project). The AnyCast and portable camcorders were also employed the following month in videotaping the Town Meeting, thus eliminating the cost of contracted audio/video services for that purpose. Throughout the year, two/three members of the CTTAC participated in twice- monthly meetings in Wellfleet of the informal "Lower Cape Regional Public Access Group" (LCPARG), made up of volunteer members of the Cable Advisory Committees of Brewster, Eastham, Orleans, Provincetown, Truro and Wellfleet. On behalf of the Boards of Selectmen of the respective towns, the LCPARG is exploring how the six towns can best work together to plan for the transition of PEG Access (Public/Educational/Governmental) television operations (Channel 17) from Comcast to a non-profit (501c3) cable provider. In addition, the LCPARG is evaluating the ways in which the towns might collaborate to negotiate cable television contracts renewal as a consortium, thereby exercising enhanced leverage in the pursuit of increased PEG funding support, studio equipment upgrades and more varied and topical programming. The LCPARG received $16K in consultant/legal support from Barnstable County for these investigations. The primary option being considered at the end of the year involved the six towns concurrently joining the Cape Cod Community Media Center Inc., the non-profit PEG Access provider currently serving Chatham, Dennis, Harwich, Barnstable and Yarmouth, with Board of Directors membership for the six towns and requisite pass-through funding by Comcast from aggregate 115 subscriber fees to support Lower Cape-expanded Community Media Center PEG operations. The CTTAC assisted the Town Administrator and MIS Director in providing concept analyses, specifications and budgeting support for installing fixed audio/video capabilities in the two meeting rooms of the renovated town hall, the TV Control room and the Media Coordinator office; and provided justification and job description support for hiring a Media Operations Coordinator for managing/conducting television operations. Assistance was also provided in preparing an article for the Special Town Meeting (October) in the amount of $25K to purchase and install, in the renovated town hall, fixed electronic components needed to activate "Orleans Community Access" (Channel 18) television services starting in 2007. Respectfully submitted, John Hodgkinson, Chairman CAPE COD COMMISSION The Cape Cod Commission provides regional services and serves as a coordinator of many projects and activities that affect all of Barnstable County.

Respectfully submitted, Frank Hogan Orleans Representative 119 CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT Cape Cod Regional Technical High School was established in 1973 as a public technical high school that divides student learning time between academic classes and technical training. For the 2005-2006 school year we had 723 students enrolled in 18 different technical fields from our 12 sending towns with an operating budget of$10,663,682 and over $400,000 in grant funds. At the end of this year, Superintendent/Director Timothy Carroll retired after 31 years of working to make Cape Cod Tech the exemplar of technical education that it is today. William N. Fisher, the Principal of Cape Cod Tech and a 27-year veteran administrator at Cape Cod Tech, was selected to follow Mr. Carroll as the new Superintendent and Mr. Leonard Phelan, former Assistant Principal at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, was appointed as the new Principal to the Principal's position vacated by Mr. Fisher. Cape Cod Tech has been able to make significant progress in raising student performance on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) and our school again met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) with the 2006 MCAS exam. In 2006, 62% of our students scored Advanced or Proficient in English, compared to 56% in 2005 and 68% of our students scored Advanced or Proficient in Math, compared to 55% in 2005. Our technical shops aligned their curricula to meet the standards of the Massachusetts Technical Frameworks. Our Renewable Energy program has been supported by two grants, one from the National Science Foundation in coordination with Cape Cod Community College and one from the Cape Cod Economic Development Corporation. These grants and our relationship with the College have provided for training in renewable energy such as solar and wind power and enabled us to purchase the necessary hardware such as solar panels, a wind turbine, and bio-diesel fuel system. We have also been able to purchase a wind turbine data logger which is connected A. the new wll ld tul bll le and an 1nte1 I Ile- server syste�i o. in addition to our renewable energy program, the Cape Cod Tech School Committee has approved the lease/purchase of the first tri-generation system for energy savings in a public facility in this country. This system, once it is in place, will reduce our electric energy consumption by more than 40% and our heating costs by 25-30% each year. This new concept demonstrates Cape Cod Tech's commitment to reducing annual energy consumption and that we are doing everything we can to reduce our energy costs. The Plumbing program has received a solar thermal system and we have purchased electrical circuits for hands-on activities in physics, principles of technology, and environmental/earth science classes. We have developed our curriculum to articulate with Tech Prep agreements with Cape Cod Community College. Our Adult Education program has been expanded this year and we have added an excellent part-time coordinator, Ron Broman, who has made a tremendous impact on the quality and quantity in the courses we offer. For FY '06 of the 46 120 courses we offered, we ran a total of 40 courses with approximately 457 adults participating during the Fall of 2005 and Spring of 2006. This year 25 seniors of the class of 2007 received John and Abigail Adams scholarships, we improved our attendance to 94.6%, we increased our student retention and had 44 students participate in our Cooperative Education program. The class of 2006 saw 72 of our graduates go out to work, 26 graduates go on to further education, and 2 graduates join the military. Cape Cod Tech has earned the distinction of being one of the first four schools in the nation and the only technical school, to achieve national certification of our school's Senior Project. Graduating seniors who successfully complete their projects have a Senior Project Certification seal on their transcripts identifying students as having met a very rigorous national standard. SkillsUSA is a national organization serving students enrolled in technical programs. This year our students brought home,8 gold, 11 silver, and 7 bronze medals in the district competition, 4 gold, 4 silver, and 2 bronze in the state competition, and in the national competition, we brought home 1 silver in Dental Assisting and 1 bronze in Marine Technology. Cape Cod Tech provides money saving projects for our district and community and these projects not only save thousands of dollars, but also provide our students with real life work experience in a supervised setting. For the 2005- 2006 school year, the total estimated value of the savings to our sending towns from work completed by Cape Tech's technical shops was in excess of $650,000. We have included for you here some of the highlights of the work our Cape Cod Tech students performed over this past year. Cape Cod Tech Horticulture students completed projects for the Rhododendron Society in Orleans and the Interfaith Council for the Homeless in Orleans. Our Horticulture students completed shrub transplanting at Nauset High School in Eastham. While Cape Cod Tech electrical students worked on six different Habitat for Humanity houses and Cape Cod Tech Horticulture students worked on the Capabilities Hydroponics Farm located in Dennis removing and trimming trees and shrubs Respectfully submitted, Thomas Collins, Orleans Representative Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District CAPE LIGHT COMPACT The Cape Light Compact was formed in 1997 following two years of study and votes of town boards of selectmen and town council. It is organized through a formal intergovernmental agreement signed by all 21 member towns and Barnstable and Dukes counties. The purpose of the Cape Light Compact is to advance the interests of consumers in a competitive electric supply market, 121 including the promotion of energy efficiency. Each participating municipality has a representative on the Compact Governing Board, which sets policy and works with staff, technical and legal support to advance the Cape Light Compact programs. POWER SUPPLY In 2006, the Cape Light Compact (Compact) provided energy to residents and businesses in accordance with a competitive electricity supply contract negotiated by the Compact with ConEdison Solutions. Although prices were initially high as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in late 2005, the Compact continually worked to lower prices throughout the year. Commencing in July, prices for all customer rate classes were reduced by 1 cent per kWh in order to lower electricity bills for the remainder of 2006. In addition, the Compact was able to reduce electricity prices for all of the town's municipal accounts as a result of a separate procurement of energy in the spring of 2006. These reductions, effective in April 2006, saved between 25% and 30% on electricity bills for the town's municipal buildings, schools, and other town related facilities. While these savings were not seen directly on consumers' individual electric bills, these savings flow through to all taxpayers in the town as a result of lower tax bills. Competition for consumers was more fully realized in 2006 as more competitive suppliers came into the market to serve residential as well as commercial and industrial accounts. The Cape Light Compact supports a competitive market for all consumers as was envisioned by the Electric Restructuring Act of 1997. As of December 2006, the Compact had 5,119 electric accounts in the Town of Orleans on its energy supply. ENERGY EFFICIENCY From January to November 2006, rebates and other efficiency incentive programs provided to the town of Orleans by the Compact totaled approximately $104;708 brought savings to 255 participants of $60,198 or about 401,317 kilowatt-hours of energy saved for 2006. Funding for the energy efficiency programs' (i.e. energy audits for homes and businesses, rebates on the purchase of energy efficient appliances and energy education in our schools) comes from a monthly customer "energy conservation" charge ($0.0025 cents multiplied by the number of kilowatt hours used during the month) that appears on each customer's electric bill. Other Cape Light Compact Efforts Include: • The Cape Light Compact brought energy education to the Town of Orleans. Education support included 1 program and 25 students, parents, and teachers. • One solar panel at the Orleans Elementary School as part of the Solarize Our Schools campaign to sign up 3% of the occupied households in each town. Congratulations! 122 • Five Low-Income homes retrofitted for a reduction in energy usage and increased comfort. • Four ENERGY STAR@ quailed homes built in Town of Orleans. Respectfully submitted, Richard Philbrick, Orleans Representative CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is charged with being the link to the townspeople and to civic and business groups for communicating relevant wastewater management issues and planning, including provisions of the Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP) as it is being developed by the Wastewater Management Steering Committee (WMSC). The CAC works closely with the WSMC and at least one member attends all WMSC meetings for coordination purposes. The CAC selected two of the series of Cape Keepers "Nitro" and "Wastewater IQ" posters and arranged to have 1900 8X11 color inserts produced for distributing to Orleans subscribers of The Cape Codder weekly newspaper. The inserts appeared in the May 5th and June 9th issues. In addition, the CAC had 300 copies of the multi-color "Orleans Major Watersheds" map made and handed them out to voters arriving for the Annual Town Meeting on May 8th. The CAC took digital photographs of various mounded wastewater systems located in Orleans, primarily on residential lots, and provided descriptive commentary on them for use in developing the CWMP. The CAC assisted the Orleans Pond Coalition in manning an information booth on water quality and wastewater management at craft fairs held in July and August at Nauset Regional Middle School. Materials available for handing out to visitors included the CAC-produced "Waters of Orleans" brochure and the Orleans watersheds map. The major effort of the CAC this year was the development of a PowerPoint program on the basics of wastewater management to be used for public education presentations. The program was presented in July at Snow Library and again in August at the Council on Aging. Approximately 120 people attended. The presentation covered a broad range of topics, including groundwater movement, septic systems technology, the basics of wastewater treatment and disposal, the need for zoning changes to be concurrent with wastewater management development, information about TMDLs and the Massachusetts Estuaries Project, Orleans estuaries delineation, the regulatory role of the Department of Environmental Protection, and others. In October the CAC commenced work on development of public education materials for the "Needs Assessment" portion of the Draft CWMP being developed by the engineering consultant firm. In addition to a PowerPoint 123 presentation, the CAC is considering additional media forms to educate Orleans citizens about this important aspect of Town-wide wastewater management planning. It is anticipated that the "Needs Assessment" public education effort will occur in the first few months of 2007, to be followed by two more major efforts dealing with other key sections of the Draft CWMP: "Development and Screening of Alternatives", and "Evaluation of Alternatives and Development of Recommended Plan". Respectfully submitted: John Hodgkinson, Chairman CIVIL DEFENSE Cape Cod experienced a relatively quiet weather year during 2006. In January we were still dealing with storm debris from the "December 9th Storm" that was stored in the Nauset Beach parking lot. Thousands of cubic yards of brush was finally chipped and hauled off Cape. We reassessed our shelter needs following this storm and because of a heating issue at the Middle School and the remodeling of the Town Office Building we designated the Elementary School as our secondary and primary shelter. New Red Cross shelter supplies were received; cots, blankets, pillows, water, and personal packs for forty-eight people are now stored at the school. From June 7th to 9th we experienced six-plus inches of rain with flooding reported in many areas of town, however no major damage was reported. During July we experienced extremely hot/humid weather with a "heat emergency" declared by the state. A major power outage in the center of town, one afternoon, knocked out air conditioners and fans resulted in numerous medical emergencies. On September 2nd we prepared for Tropical Storm Ernesto that was predicted to go just east of Cape Cod. At the last moment the storm went west, towards Buffalo, and spared the Cape. On October 28th we were hit with a Nor'easter that caused severe beach erosion at Nauset Beach but no other reportable damage. We have updated our communications equipment at the Emergency Operations Center at the fire station. New radios to communicate directly with MEMA, the Highway and Police departments, and a new marine radio have been installed. The Federal Department of Homeland Security has mandated every city and town to prepare an Emergency Dispensing Site plan for the distribution of medications during a radiological/bioterrorism attack or medical epidemic. We are working with the Health Department and Barnstable` County to test our dispensing system with the distribution of Potassium Iodide tablets to all residents in the spring of 2007. Emergency plans for the Library and the "Continuation of Operations" plan for the Town Hall are being developed following training sessions by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. 124 All town employees have been trained to the required Incident Command System and National Incident Management level standards as required by MEMA and FEMA and we continue to meet our state and federal preparedness requirements by participating in the Barnstable County Regional Emergency Preparedness Committee that meets monthly. I would like to thank the members of the Fire/Rescue Department and all of the other town departments for their continued support and assistance in time of emergency. Respectfully submitted, Steven P. Edwards, Director COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE The Town of Orleans adopted the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in May 2005. The Town receives funding for CPA activities from the 3% surtax on residential tax bills and a state match up to 100% of the surtax revenues subject to state fund availability. CPA funds are to be spent on open space, community housing, historic preservation and recreation projects. The nine-member Community Preservation Committee, created by statute and local bylaw, implements the requirements of the CPA, administers the project selection process, and awards funds to eligible projects subject to approval at Town Meeting. The Committee conducted its first full calendar year of business in 2006 after being formed in September 2005 following voter approval of the transfer of the Land Bank to the Community Preservation Act in the spring of 2005. Important activities of the Committee in 2006 were: 1. The Community Preservation Plan as required by the CPA was completed. This Plan is the guiding document for project selection decisions and will be updated annually. 2. The Committee recommended six eligible projects for full or partial funding using estimated Fiscal Year 2007 CPA funds to the May Annual Town Meeting. The Town Meeting, through Article 4, approved $709,356 to pay interest and principal on existing Land Bank debt, $239,012 to fund the six projects, $240,338 as reserves for future projects, and $47,650 as Committee expenses for FY '07. 3. The Committee recommended ten projects for full or partial funding to the October Special Town meeting. These projects were to be funded by the state match funds received by the Town in October 2005. The October Town Meeting, through Article 10, approved $363,107 for the ten projects and $13,454.13 as reserves for future projects. 4. All fourteen approved projects are closely monitored by the Committee to insure they remain on budget within the approved scope and to insure that the grant recipients make satisfactory progress toward completion. The Committee believes the fourteen projects approved in 2006 significantly 125 contribute toward achieving the goals of the Committee's Preservation Plan and the Town's Local Comprehensive Plan specifically as they relate to open space, historic preservation, community housing, and recreation. The Committee looks forward to supporting projects that will preserve and maintain the beauty and character of Orleans. Respectfully submitted, David M. Dunford, Chairman CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission implements the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act and the Orleans Wetland Protection Bylaw. In the Town of Orleans, the Conservation Commission reviews and approves applications for projects affecting any of the Town's wetland resource areas and also manages the Town's Conservation Areas; participates in collaborative work groups; and promotes public education about natural resource concerns. Reviewing and Approving Wetland Projects Any activity that alters a wetland resource area or the 100 foot buffer to the resource area, including filling, construction, renovation, pruning, removing or planting vegetation, must be filed with the Conservation Commission prior to initiation. Wetland resource areas encompass wetland vegetation, coastal banks, dunes, Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage and Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) among others. For minor alterations, such as brush or tree pruning or small construction projects more than 50 feet from a resource area, a brief Administrative Review form can be submitted. Larger projects require, at minimum, notification of abutters within 100 feet of the lot line of the property, a plot plan with a limit of work, and precise delineation of the wetland boundaries. In 2006, the Conservation Commission heard 57 Notices of Intent, 8 Amended Orders, 5 Requests for Determination and 104 Administrative Reviews. Management of Open Space Areas The Orleans Conservation Commission is responsible for the management of the Town's Conservation Areas. Most of these areas are available to the public and offer passive recreational opportunities with trails and scenic views. In 2006, Management Plans were approved by the Commission for Hopkins Lane Conservation Area, Windmill Park Conservation Area, Window on the Cove Conservation Area and for the new conservation area on Arey's Pond. The Conservation Commission has reviewed a Conservation Restriction on Mill Pond Road on the Hopkins Property. In 2006, the Conservation Commission continued to support the Parks Department's efforts to improve naturalized areas including the restoration of the fields and woodlands at Sea Call Farm and Meadow on the Cove. Some work by an independent contractor on these projects was funded by a Barnstable County Land Management Grant. Hopkins Lane Conservation Area benefited from a restoration project by the Tree Warden working with Americorps. 126 Participation in Work Groups During 2006, Conservation Commission members and staff, participated in numerous work groups, including Wastewater Management, Water Quality Monitoring, the Pleasant Bay Resource Management Alliance, the Community Preservation Committee, and the Cape & Islands Conservation Commission Network in Barnstable. Meeting Schedule The Conservation Commission meets in the mornings the first four Tuesdays of every month. New hearings are advertised the first and third weeks of the month. Respectfully submitted, Arnold Henson Chairman COUNCIL ON AGING Mission: The Orleans Council on Aging (COA) functions as a human service organization to enhance the quality of life for all residents of Orleans who are at least 60 years old. The COA provides assistance, information on available resources, health services, referrals to community agencies, programs and recreational activities. Particular emphasis promoting healthy aging and full participation by all is made. Interpretation and implementation of the mission statement is made through the tireless and enthusiastic efforts of the Director and her talented and dedicated staff despite budgetary constrictions. The 2006 year was again a productive and rewarding one. Through the support of the FRIENDS of the COA, amounting to $14, 017, Grants; Title IIIB (transportation) amounting to $7,250, Title IIIE (caregivers) $5,000 and the State Formula Grant (Outreach and Front Desk staff) $16,166 plus the sponsorship of our monthly "TIDINGS" publication and very creative money management by our Director, Elizabeth Smith, the COA has continued to be an important and necessary service to the Town of Orleans. Additional funds, which in most cases are dedicated to specific areas and needs, were realized through the Anslow Trust Gift Account, the Moak Scholarship Fund, the North Gift Account and the Travis Smith Trust. Throughout the year, the Orleans COA continued to meet the needs of our Town with programs addressing fuel assistance (for non-seniors as well as seniors), safe driving for seniors, computers, information on Medicare Part D. SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of the Elderly), Long Term Care Seminar, flu clinic, blood pressure clinics, foot care, Gosnold-Thorne Counseling, legal assistance, medical equipment and wellness counseling, introduction to Windows XP, Mah Jongg lessons, CPR and AED training and memoir writing. Support groups such as; Alzheimer's Caregivers Circle, Early Stage Alzheimer's, Neuropathy and Parkinsons' provide caregivers with a chance to come together to address similar problems and to reaffirm that they are not alone. 127 The Day Center program, a supportive day program for high functioning short term memory challenged seniors, had 66 different clients attend 3,728 days providing an interactive program for'them and respite for-their caregivers. The focus on mental health by our Wellness Facilitator assisted 98 different clients with 734 sessions of counseling. Other programs offered include fitness, walking, yoga, amateur radio, bridge, chess, knitters, mah jongg, oil painting and quitters. The Orleans COA is indeed all things to all seniors. None of these wonderful programs and support groups could achieve the level of excellence that the Orleans COA has without dedicated workers; Donna Faivre, Brenda Fernandez and Sandy Maria (retired in June) Front Desk personnel; Carol Connolly, Office Manager; Sue Beyle and Andrea McGee, Outreach Department; Susan Wangerman, Wellness Facilitator; Sue Curcio, The Day Center Director and her staff; Sharon Chatham, Gerald Csaposs, Bud Hale, Joe Manson, Joyce O'Neil and Emmy Schenke-, Janet Reinhart and Jane Higgins, Fitness Instructors; Manny Acuna, Irene Gallant, Bill Hannon and Scott Wood, custodians who maintain the building in excellent condition and Bob Bishop, Joe O'Neil, Bud Hale and Bill Hannon, ROADRUNNER Van Drivers. These dedicated individuals work tirelessly to insure successful programs. The direction, commitment and heart and soul of the COA is provided by our Director, Elizabeth Smith. Her dedication, tireless energy and Herculean efforts have helped to make the Orleans COA reach the State's COA tagline "at the Center of it all". The Council on Aging looks forward to another year of progress and diversity to further strengthen our commitment to the healthy aging of our maturing community. Respectfully submitted, Joseph A. Di Brigida, Chairman Board of Directors COMMISSION ON DISABILITIES The 1995 Board of Selectmen charge to the Commission on Disabilities reads: "The Orleans Commission on Disabilities mission is to assure that all people in Orleans have an equal opportunity to participate in all functions involving living, working, and enjoying recreation activities. The Commission will work towards this end by informing, educating, monitoring, and advising the public, including the business community and the town administration... The purpose of the Commission shall be to cause the full integration and participation of people with disabilities in the Town of Orleans, such Commission shall; (1) research local problems of people with disabilities; (2) advise and assist municipal officials and employees in ensuring compliance with state and federal laws and regulations that affect people with disabilities; (3) coordinate or carry 128 out programs designed to meet the problems of people with disabilities in coordination with programs of the Massachusetts office on disability; (4) review and make recommendations about policies, procedures, services, activities and facilities of departments, boards and agencies of the Town of Orleans as they affect people with disabilities; (5) provide information, referrals, guidance and technical assistance to individuals, public agencies, businesses and organizations in all matters pertaining to disability; (6) coordinate activities of other local groups organized for similar purposes; and (7) to help raise awareness and sensitivity to the needs of the people who are disabled." Since 1995, Orleans' population has grown appreciably and its demographics have changed considerably. We are now a municipality with a larger senior population, which means our town has the needs and issues challenging all demographically older communities. In 2006, the Commission on Disabilities had not been meeting for over two years. That fact required old and new members to inquire what had happened to cause such a change in Commission dynamics. Finally, the Commission charge requires that "a majority of said commission members shall consist of people with disabilities." 2006 saw various Commission member health problems, which interfered with regular Commission function. Therefore, 2006 was a year of transition to fuller Commission function. To meet the goals of the Selectmen's charge, the Commission sought input from many residents and others knowledgeable about local and regional disability needs, program options to address those needs and methods to coordinate delivery of services to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness. Program effectiveness together with revenue efficiency must be a common municipal objective. We have much to learn from Orleans organizations like the Council on Aging, Recreation and Human Services Committees, as well as our counterparts on longer-functioning disability organizations in Eastham, Chatham, Harwich and Brewster. The same learning process is true about (CORD) the Cape Organization for the Rights of the Disabled, the Barnstable County Human Services Department, the Massachusetts Office of Health and Disability, (AAB) the Architectural Access Board (NOD) the National Organization on Disabilities, (NC D) the National Council on Disability and (ADA) the Americans with Disabilities Act. There are many resources available to your Commission, which it needs to grow more familiar with and utilize well. During 2006, the Commission met with business, government and non-profit leaders with knowledge about local and regional disability issues. The most important of these have been with Orleans residents who are disabled or who have experienced some degree of functional impairment as a result of injury, developmental or aging issues. We will all experience the inevitable transition to some level of diminished capacity. We have much to learn from those who have made those often-difficult 129 transitions, have thought about the impacts in their lives and are willing to talk openly about how well meaning others can facilitate these inevitable transitions. Several personal stories emerge from 2006 that, despite transitions to diminished capacity, provide us with greater knowledge that the strength of spirit and belief in community that can overcome the emotional isolation of physical or mental impairment. Growth in community giving efforts and in the spiritual strength to live life as fully as possible is the consistent backdrop to these stories; individuals in families and groups who have surmounted their difficulties and by whose example enhance our own lives and town. We have been reminded many times during 2006 by government, business and non-profit residents whose leadership in community service gives us much to celebrate and to emulate. The Orleans Commission on Disabilities looks forward to 2007. We hope to be able to bring more detailed examples of community service to your attention in our next report. Thank you. Respectfully submitted, Jon Gilmore, Chairman Orleans Commission on Disabilities CULTURAL COUNCIL The Orleans Cultural Council (OCC), a member of the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) in Boston, promotes the arts and humanities in the Town of Orleans. We award grants and we hold art shows and events that encourage creativity and culture within the community. Working within the guidelines established by the MCC, the OCC received 14 requests for art grants, and after a thorough review, granted $3,650 to 11 of these requests. Awards are granted to worthy organizations and individuals that benefit the residents of Orleans. Due to the renovation of Town Hall, the Council did not have an art gallery for most of the 2006 Season. The Council did have a very successful open show at the Snow library during the month of November with over art sixty entries. We have many exciting events and shows planned for 2007, and we look forward to our new art gallery in the newly renovated Town Hall. The Council currently has eight members with room for fourteen more. Respectfully submitted, Wellesley M. Bergstrom, Chair 130 FINANCE COMMITTEE In accordance with the Orleans Home Rule Charter, Chapter 8, the Town Moderator appoints the nine members of the Orleans Finance Committee. As an independent committee, we initiate fiscal reviews and make recommendations on all Town Meeting Warrant articles having financial implications. As specified in the Town Charter, a number of public hearings were conducted with the Board of Selectmen to solicit your priorities for upcoming fiscal years and to review the upcoming Operating Budget and Capital Plan. Further, the Committee managed and authorized transfers of funds to town departments for extraordinary, out-of-budget expenses, from a Reserve Fund totaling $85,000. We organized two-person teams to review department operations and related budgets. Committee members monitored key committees and all Board of Selectmen meetings, with the objective of understanding the financial implications of their initiatives upon Orleans taxpayers. We reviewed all articles In preparation for the 2006 May Annual Town Meeting and the Special Town Meeting. When additional information s necessary, we requested department heads and committee chairpersons to meet with us to discuss specific fiscal issues as they pertained to various articles in the Warrants. We voted on all articles, and when we had a split vote, we included our"pro and con" reasons in the published Warrants to assist you in understanding our thinking. Throughout the year the Finance Committee focused on increasing dialogue with the Board of Selectmen and considering recommendations to the Budget and Capital Improvement Plan, During August we participated in meetings with the Board of Selectmen where we identified areas of the Budget Policy process we felt required in-depth analysis. The Committee's special emphases for the calendar year 2006 were as follows: o Have recommended the development of Departmental Business Plans. o Review Town Employee Health Care Costs. o Develop a financial baseline for various Waste Water Management options. o Analyze options regarding Wind Energy Program for related expenses and potential revenue. o Analyze School expenses within current environment of declining enrollment and increasing labor costs. o Review and Analyze percentage (Orleans compared to total Cape) of tax dollars granted vs. percentage of Orleans residents served by Human Services Grant program. o Analyze possibilities of outsourcing tasks currently performed by the Highway Department. o Continue our discussions with other Cape Finance Committees. 131 o Review the Capital Improvement Plan for need, accuracy, timelines and impact on future budgets. These efforts will continue in calendar year 2007. Respectfully submitted, Alfred R. Turner IV, Chairman FIREIRESCUE DEPARTMENT The following is a report for the Fire/Rescue Department for 2006: Training continues to be the major focus of the fire service. Department members attended many State and Barnstable County Fire Training Academy classes including Rapid Intervention, Flashover, Water Supply Officer, and Residential Fire Fighting. With the new Homeland Security requirements to be trained in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command, all department members have been trained to the second level of response. Over the next two years, further certification will be required. The Paramedics and EMT's constantly train to meet state and Dept. of Public Health requirements. We continue to participate in many regional programs. Department members have crossed trained with lower Cape towns on a regional dive team, a technical rescue team, a mass decontamination unit team, and an EMS training committee. FF Geof Deering continues to be,our lead CPR instructor and again has trained hundreds of people this past year. I served as the president of the Fire Chiefs' Association of Mass until May. Meetings with potential gubernatorial candidates were very interesting, as was the annual Congressional Fire Service Caucus in Washington in April where we met with our congressmen over state and national issues. In September I represented the state at an International Fire Chiefs' Strategic Planning Session to map out the goals of the association for the next two years. 200 chiefs from around the world met on current and future initiatives. The Barnstable County Sheriff's Dept. continues to receive all 9-1-1 calls for Orleans and dispatches all emergency calls for the fire department. This system is very efficient and cost effective. They also dispatch all mutual aid requests for both fire and EMS throughout the county where predetermined assignments through five alarms are on file. Our fire station facility is now eighteen years old and much of the infrastructure continues to be replaced or updated. An article will appear in the Capital Improvement Plan to study the renovation/expansion of the station in the next few years. Apparatus maintenance is a major part of the budget as the trucks age and the trips to the hospital increase. The fire pump was rebuilt in our1993 KME pumper along with major engine repair being performed. An Aerial Ladder Committee was formed and following much study, debates, and trips to view various models of aerials, a recommendation with pricing will be presented at the 132 upcoming Annual Town Meeting to replace the 1974 Maxim Aerial we currently have in service.

Although the law requires that each home be equipped with a detector on each floor of a home, our only certification of these detectors occurs when the property is sold, although State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan has mandated that fire personnel check for these detectors even when responding to routine fire and medical calls. As a reminder, there is a state law requiring house numbers to be posted on all properties. If you have a long driveway, we request that a number be placed at the end of the driveway. This is especially important when out of town emergency vehicles are called to respond to town. The town also has a by-law requiring private roads and driveways to be trimmed of brush and limbs to 14' X 14' so as to alleviate damage to our large vehicles. If your property has an alarm system you are reminded to check that there is an up to date key in the lock box. Call the Fire Department for assistance with the matter.

Respectfully submitted, Steven P. Edwards, Fire Chief FOURTH OF JULY COMMITTEE The Orleans Fourth of July began with fireworks at Rock Harbor in the evening on Saturday July 1st. Atlas Pyro, Vision. Productions provided a spectacular display. The Parade was on Tuesday July 4th. The weather was beautiful for both events. The Parade began at 10:00 am. We had a total of nine bands which included the Spirit of America and the Air National Guard of New England Military Band. There were over fifty entries which included local businesses, community organizations, families and antique cars. The theme of the Parade was "It's a Grand Old Flag, Wave it High" The winner of the parade theme contest was John Henry Ecker from the Orleans Elementary School. Ken Farrar, former Selectman and a consistently bright and positive spirit in Orleans, was honored by being our Grand Marshall. The Parade repeated last year's route, with the judges reviewing stand moved to the corner of Eldredge 134 Park Way and Rt. 28. The change made it possible to avoid as many large gaps between entries. The Parade ended in the lower parking lot of the Nauset Middle School. The winning entries were awarded by Ken Farrar to Agway of Orleans and the Orleans Elementary School After School Program. The Committee would like to thank those participants who cooperated with our effort to provide a safe parade by asking entries not to throw candy from floats and vehicles, but to pass candy into the crowd from the side of the street. Once again the Committee is planning for our 2007 Celebration. The fire works will be held at Rock Harbor on Sunday July 1 with a rain date of Monday July 2. The Parade will be held on Wednesday July 4, beginning at 1 0:00am. The Committee wishes to thank the Friends of the Fourth and all those who contribute, volunteer and enjoy these special events in Orleans. Respectfully Submitted, Susan Alman and Peter Howerton Co-Chairmen HARBORMASTER/SHELLFISH DEPARTMENT The Harbormaster/Shellfish Department is responsible for the oversight of virtually all activities around the town's shoreline and waterways. The Department consists of three full time employees and three seasonal patrol boat operators. Our work includes such activities as: issuance of 1325 mooring permits, maintaining mooring waiting lists, issuance of 75 dockage agreements, issuance of commercial shellfish licenses, natural resource management and planning, private aquaculture management, maintenance of town landings, dock and pier repair and construction, shellfish propagation, setting and hauling of 119 aids to navigation, vessel pump-out service, marine animal rescue, herring run maintenance and restoration, marine rescue, emergency towing and enforcement of all federal, state, and local laws, bylaws and regulations governing boating and shell fishing. Specific projects for the year were as follows: • Shellfish Propagation Program. During 2006, our Department maintained over 1,400,000 quahogs on the town grant site located in Town Cove and transplanted more than 600,000 animals from this site into the waters of the town. In addition, we planted four hundred bushels of adult quahogs into the waters of the Nauset estuary. • Experimental Oyster Project. We continued our experimental work with oyster culture in Lonnie's Pond in the Pleasant Bay estuary. We are attempting to create a new oyster bed and hopefully improve water quality in the pond. The project is funded through a grant from the Barnstable Cou nty. 135 I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town employees who so greatly assisted us during 2006. Specifically, I would like to thank Parks & Beaches Superintendent Paul Fulcher, Fire Chief Steve Edwards, Police Chief Jeff Roy and Highway Superintendent Mark Budnick and their staff for their constant help and support in our efforts to keep the shoreline and waterways of Orleans safe and sound. All of us here at the Department once again offer a special thanks to the Cookie Fairy, Jane Adams, for her generous deliveries. I would also like to thank the members of the Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Committee and specifically Chairman Gerry Dorman for his dedicated efforts at preserving the marine resources of the town. I wish to express my gratitude to my assistants, Gardner Jamieson and Greg Normandy, for their hard work and overall commendable performance in their respective positions. Respectfully submitted, Dawson L. Farber IV HIGH HIGHWA YITRANSFER TA UON TREE DEPARTMENT Fiscal Year 2006 again proved to be a very busy year for the Highway Department, Tree Department and the Transfer Station. The Departments were challenged to meet the responsibilities and demands expected by the Town residents and Administration. It was due to the dedication, ingenuity and resilience of all the staff that the Departments were able to continue to provide the best level of service possible. I would like to thank all the staff for their hard work and dedication. Highway Department: The major projects managed by the department in 2006 include the following: 1 Ckaket Reach Road Culvert Replacement /Little vaamskaket Creek Wetlands Restoration Project. 2. Town Cove Stormwater Discharge Pipe/Jeremiah's Gutter Stormwater 3. Route 28/Finlay Road/Pond Road Intersection Project, 4. The Landfill Capping Project 5. Route 39 Drainage and Road Improvement design 6. Design for Drainage Improvements on Rock Harbor Rd. 7. Resurfacing of Main Street from Route 6A to Route 28. 8. Resurfacing of Eldredge Parkway from Route 6A to Route 28. The Highway Department is also responsible for the maintenance and improvement of approximately 54 miles of roadway and roadsides, the repair and maintenance of related storm water drainage systems, and the repair and maintenance of over 50 town vehicles, heavy equipment and tools. 136 During Winter Operations the Highway Department is responsible for preventing and addressing icing conditions and the clearing snow from roadways and town parking lots. More specific details of the department's activities in FY2006 are as follows: 1. The department continued to maintain and repair the town roadways. Significant time and effort was spent addressing potholes, areas of deteriorated pavement and the repair and improvement of berming and curbing. 2. The Preventative Maintenance Program continued in FY2006 with crack sealing work being done on several town roads. 3. The department spent a significant amount of time, effort and expense addressing deteriorated catch basins and manholes. The department continued to maintain the town drainage system. This work included cleaning of over 800 catch basins and leaching pits. The department removed an estimated 300 tons of material from drainage structures. 4. The Department continued to provide repair and maintenance services to the the town's vehicular and heavy equipment fleet. This involves over 50 vehicles and pieces of heavy equipment, construction tools various hand tools. This task was again very challenging in FY2006. In November 2004, as part of the Landfill Capping Project, the Department vacated the Maintenance Garage. In April 2005 the building was relocated to town owned property on Giddiah Hill Road. To date this building is not usable as a maintenance garage. To accommodate the need for a maintenance facility, the department made improvements to a vacated structure on the town owned property on Giddiah Hill Road. The facility is undersized therefore the maintenance of larger trucks and equipment was performed either outside or at the Highway facility on Bayridge Road. It was only due to the resourcefulness of the mechanic and the staff that the department has been able to continue to effectively provide these services. 5. The Department is responsible for Snow and Ice Removal Operations for the Town. The winter of 2005/2006 was a somewhat mild winter with the department responding to 11 recorded separate events. The winter seasons most significant storm event was on December 9, 2005. The storm brought hurricane force winds to Orleans along with snow squalls that quickly iced the roads. The wind storm struck unexpectedly at approximately 3:00 pm during the busy commuting time. The winds downed thousands of trees within a very short period 137 of time. Roads were impassible and several school buses with children were trapped on Town roads. The department personnel along with personnel from other Town departments worked tirelessly in very dangerous and risky conditions to open the roads and rescue stranded people and remove the trees from power lines. After the storm, the Highway Department was tasked with managing and coordinating the clean-up operations. The department secured Northern Tree Service to provide equipment to pick-up, grind and dispose of the residential brush and tree debris. The Highway Department also continued to clean-up debris from roadsides and other town owned properties. In total, approximately 9000 cubic yards of ground trees, brush and storm debris was processed. My sincere gratitude goes to all the department staff and Town personnel that assisted in responding to this storm and throughout the winter. 7. The Department acts as the Town's representative on the Cape Cod Joint Traffic Committee and the Organization of SEMASS Communities. The Department also sits on the Site Plan Review Committee and the Parking and Traffic Study Committee. Transfer Station: During the year the Department was involved in managing the Landfill Capping Project. Construction continued through Fiscal Year 2006. In the beginning of Fiscal Year 2006, the Transfer Station was operating in the temporary Transfer Station location. In late November 2005, the temporary facility was closed and operations opened in the permanent location in the upper area. By June 2006, the Landfill Capping project was complete and all areas were reopened. Some changes were made in the design of the Transfer Station and the residents and the Transfer Station staff learned to adjust to the new traffic flow patterns and disposal requirements. The final step to restoring all prior services to Transfer Station, the reconstruction of the Gift House, became a priority for the Town and the Department. Not considered in the Landfill Capping Project, the reconstruction of the Gift House after the capping of the Landfill is much more significant project and the department spent significant time and attention to this project. The Gift House did not get reconstructed in Fiscal Year 2006. In Fiscal Year 2006, the Department also had to assume the responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the Methane Gas Collection system. The system consists of a series of wells and piping connected to a flare system that burns the Methane gas being produced by the rubbish under the Landfill Cap. The system is very dynamic and the department continues to learn to adjust and balance the system to maintain maximum efficiency and effectiveness. 138 Solid Waste generated by the Town that passed through the Transfer Station are as follows: 1. Municipal Solid Waste 2600 Tons 2. Construction and Demolition Debris 268 Tons Recycled Materials: 1) Metals (scrap, metal cans) 250 Tons (est.) 2) Newspaper (mixed paper) 411 Tons 3) Glass 220 Tons 4) Corrugated Cardboard 80 Tons 5) Plastics 66 Tons 6) Miscellaneous 30 Tons 7) Compost (est.) 500 Tons Total 1557 Tons Other Materials: 1) Mattresses 657 units 2) Fluorescent Tubes 15,700 linear feet 3) TV's/CRT's 487 units 4) White Goods* 401 units 5) Street Sweepings 375 Tons(est.) 6) Catch Basin Cleanings 350 Tons(est.) White Goods include: refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, etc. Due to the Landfill Capping Operations during a part of Fiscal Year 2006, the Department had only limited collection of paint (1,000gallons), waste oil (1,100gallons), used oil filters ( 1 tons), gasoline (110gallons), and antifreeze ( 100 gallons). It should also be noted that the scale was not operational for a portion of the year. Some material weights noted above are estimated. The staff of the Transfer Station is available to discuss any questions or comments concerning solid waste disposal issues. Tree Dep art men : The Tree Warden (Municipal Arborist) Dan Connolly continues to improve and maintain the Towns Urban Forest. The duties and responsibilities associated with roadside trimming, tree planting, and tree maintenance are year round tasks. In addition to routine tasks there are unforeseen events that impact work plans. Recent natural events like the Dec. 9th storm and the Winter Moth infestation have impacted efforts to keep up with regular work. N'STAR returned to address unacceptable levels of power outages assigning multiple crews for months. 139 These combined events could take a few seasons to catch up to normal workloads, • The Town of Orleans has received the Tree City USA award from the Massachusetts DCR Urban and Community Forestry Program. This is the 9th consecutive year that we have received this prestigious award • The Tree Department received an Urban Forestry Challenge Grant for $8,000. This enables us to begin a town wide tree inventory. This grant allows Orleans to accept an invitation to participate in the Massachusetts Street Tree Inventory Initiative. MCTI allows for free utilization of tree management software and links us to the state for regional exchange of information. • A successful request for a year long intern from AmeriCorp expanded the Tree Inventory efforts. This volunteer works 2 days a week doing data collection and other related tasks. • The Department continued its ongoing roadside cutback program. The pruning and removal of trees and shrubs from the traveled way will continue with the intent of the program being to make the roadways safer for the public travel and maintenance. The long term plan is to phase out inappropriate vegetation and replace with suitable maintenance friendly plants. • The Tree Department also acted as contact for coordination with the AmeriCorps Volunteer Program. The AmeriCorps Program contributed over 570 hours of labor planting trees and cutting out invasive plants. This Department thanks the AmeriCorps Program and all the volunteers for their support. I would like to again thank all the personnel in all Town Departments, the many Volunteer Committees, and the residents of Orleans for their cooperation and assistance during the year. Special thanks go to the staff of the Highway Department, Transfer Station, and Tree Department for their hard work and dedication. We welcome input from taxpayers, residents or visitors concerning any aspect of the Highway Department, Transfer Station, or Tree Department.

The subjects and results of these meetings were as follows: 1) January 11 - Discussion of a request from M/M Robert Jennings to start the "clock" on a demolition request for their house on Tonset Road. The Commission, with advice from Town Counsel determined that the only event to trigger the start of a 12 month waiting period for demolition of an historic structure is the filing for a demolition permit. 2) February 7 - Request for demolition and replacement of a porch at 357Tonset Road by Bryant Besse. The Commission allowed the demolition to proceed, based on a review of the drawings showing the replacement, matching the existing porch 3) April 5 - Review of a site plan proposed for the present Academy Bed and Breakfast, 8 Academy Place. The Commission prepared recommendations and forwarded them to the Planning Board and Planning Department. 4) April 18 - Review of proposed demolition of structure on Sparrow property, Route 28, South Orleans. The structure was formerly the South Orleans Post Office. The Commission determined that the structure was too badly deteriorated to save, and voted to allow the demolition to proceed. 5) July 6 - a. Deferred action on the Historic District until the appointment of Norie Leonard to the Commission.. b. Reappointed Dennis Dowd to the Community Preservation Committee. c. Elected officers. 6) September 29 -: • Discussed an application for demolition of a wing of a house at 63 Monument Road; owners - M/M Andrews; architect - Sarah Jane Porter. The Commission determined that the addition proposed for the replacement was grossly out of scale with the remaining portion of the house, and that either the historic wing must be preserved and moved to another site, or the demolition would be delayed 12 months. • Discussed an application made by Lloyd Oja and Tara Miltimore to demolish a portion of an historic house at 20 Rock Harbor Road. The Commission visited the house and observed that the historic fabric of the wing had largely been removed. Action on the request was deferred pending presentation of drawings for the replacement. 7) December 1 - The Commission met again on the house at 20 Rock Harbor Road and decided to allow demolition to go forward, with the 141 provision that the new work follow the basic outline of the drawings presented at the meeting. 8) December 14 - Discussion of a proposal by the French Cable Station Museum to replace the existing cedar shingle roof with new asphalt shingles using Community preservation funds. After determining that cedar shingles can be purchased with fire ratings the Commission determined that the roof should be replaced with new cedar shingles. Respectfully Submitted, James Hadley, Chairman HOUSING AUTHORITY The Orleans Housing Authority (OHA) owns and manages one hundred one- bedroom rental apartments (Tonset Woods) for the elderly and persons with disabilities and eleven units of family housing. We also own four one-bedroom apartments in East Orleans which were purchased in June 2001 and will remain affordable in perpetuity. The OHA also administers three state-funded Alternative Housing Rental Vouchers (AHVP) which provide rental assistance to people with disabilities and three state-funded Massachusetts Rental Vouchers (MRVP) which provide rental assistance to individuals and families. We also subsidize the rent for two staffed residences for persons with mental and physical disabilities. The OHA subsidizes the rent for six of eight rooms through a federal HUD Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation grant at Canal House which is a sup portative residence for individuals in recovery from substance abuse. In addition, we serve as property manager for the Eastham Housing Authority which owns thirteen affordable rental apartments. The OHA works with the Joint Committee on Affordable Housing, to locate and develop affordable housing for either rental or ownership. In 2005 the Town �A purchased land at 2257 Rte. O/A on which the O0I­1A together with the joint Committee plan to develop workforce housing. The OHA continues to explore housing opportunities as they arise and also makes available its expertise in managing properties. Finally, the Commissioners thank Tim Buhler, Executive Director; Allison Thomas, Associate Director; Jay Gingras, Maintenance Supervisor; and Al Fearnley, Maintenance Assistant for their hard work throughout a changing year. We also recognize the excellent attention to residents needs provided by Michael Dickson, President of the Tenants Organizations. Respectfully submitted, Jim Birdsall, Chairman Timothy Buhler, Executive Director 142 SERVICES HUMAN ► Y COMMITTEE Within the general funding guidelines established by the Board of Selectmen, the Human Services Advisory Committee is charged with considering the merits of funding requests from not-for-profit human services agencies that provide direct, free or reduced-cost services to Orleans residents so that funding requests can be submitted to the Board of Selectmen for consideration at the Annual Town Meeting. Nineteen human services agencies responded to the Town of Orleans Fiscal Year 2007 Request for Funding Proposals by the December 15, 2005 deadline. Each Committee member was assigned several agency applications to review for completeness and content and each member reported back to the full Committee with a preliminary recommendation for funding or an indication that additional information was needed from the applicant to complete the review. After the additional information was. received, the reviewer recommended a funding level for each assigned agency for consideration by the full Committee. After review of all applications, each Committee member provided a recommendation for each agency. The Committee members' recommendations were averaged and the resulting consensus was voted for submittal to the Board of Selectmen. The Human Services Committee recommended $69,346 in agency funding to the Board of Selectmen. The Board of Selectmen proposed Human Services Agency Grant funding of $69,346 and the Annual Town Meeting funded that amount by a unanimous voice vote. Respectfully submitted, Paul W. O'Connor, Chairman INVASIVE SPECIES In the spring of 2006 the Committee completed its invasive species brochure. On one side are photographs of 20 plants which are particularly invasive on the Cape. On the reverse side are instructions for their control. With funds the Committee raised through contributions from the Orleans Conservation Commission, Orleans Improvement Association, Orleans Conservation Trust, the Town of Orleans, Cape Cod Five and the Orleans Friends Market, we were able to print and mail brochures to the entire town of Orleans and to have some remaining for further use. In addition, with the help of Peter Van Dyke, a website for the Committee was established which includes the official state list of invasive plants prohibited from sale and a copy of the brochure which can be downloaded in color on 8 by 16 inch paper. To do so, click on the Town of Orleans - Committees - Invasive Species Committee - - brochure. An additional education project was a six week display on invasive plants in the library vestibule. We had invaluable help with this from Marie Morongell recommended to us by Mary W. Reuland, Library Director and thank them both for a big boost. 143 The Committee would welcome suggestions for much needed additional members as well as for areas where we might be particularly useful to the town or its citizens in their work to eliminate, or at least control these invasive plants. Respectfully submitted, Anne Donaldson, Chair JOINT COMMITTEE ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING The Joint Committee on Affordable Housing is charged with the task of coordinating the Town's efforts to locate and develop affordable housing. This is done by work with all appropriate state and local agencies necessary to complete a project. The committee consists of members of the Affordable Housing Task Force appointed by the Board of Selectmen and the elected members of the Orleans Housing Authority. We are ably assisted by the Director of Planning and Community Development and the Executive Director of the Orleans Housing Authority. In 2006, the committee focused its efforts on the development of a parcel of land at 257 Route 6A. Several options were considered and presented to the Selectmen, who favored an 8-unit rental project. The project is anticipated to be funded locally from several sources, including the Community Preservation Committee, Friends of Orleans Affordable Housing, a donation from Shaw's as part of its DRI project, and an allocation of Town funds. In order for the project to go forward, it will need approval by the Town Meeting and a subsequent Debt Exclusion ballot approval. The committee's emphasis has shifted somewhat over the past year to include workforce housing as a goal. Workforce housing differs from affordable housing in that the targeted group is based on the needs of the local economy, and not necessarily on income. Under the Community Preservation Act, funds for community housing may be used to provide housing opportunities for residents who earn up to 100% of median household income (affordable housing is limited to residents who earn up to 80% of Area Median Income). Committee members continue to be active in regional workshops on affordable housing issues. The committee continues to explore every opportunity to provide or protect affordable housing. With the high cost of land and construction, it is anticipated that all future projects will require multiple funding sources. The committee's work is guided by the Orleans Comprehensive Plan goal of having 10% of the housing stock affordable. Respectfully submitted, James A. Birdsall, Chairman 144 NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE , ` Once again, The Nauset Regional School Committee can proudly report that our schools rank among the best in all of Massachusetts in measurable St3Od@ndS and mibaha.

Respectfully Submitted, Richard Wood, Chairman 145 OLD KINGS HIGHWAY REGIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMITTEE 11 Meetings were held in 2006. ➢ 17 Certificates of Exemption were accepted and ➢ 17 Certificates of Appropriateness were approved. Respectfully Submitted, Paul Leach, Chairman OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE Approximately 3.9 acres of open space were protected permanently in 2006. With the end of the Land Bank in 2005 the Committee did not propose any property acquisitions to the Town Meeting in 2006. The Committee worked closely with the Orleans Conservation Trust and the Friends of Pleasant Bay to complete the preservation of 9.2 acres of shorefront property in Little Pleasant Bay at the Narrows. The two private non-profit organizations raised $2.0 million dollars over a fifteen-month period to preserve this special waterfront property and guarantee public access by boat in perpetuity. In addition, the Committee worked with the Conservation Trust to preserve 3.9 acres of land through the placement of Conservation Restrictions. With a recent change in federal tax law it is expected that additional Conservation Restrictions will be placed on Orleans properties in the next year. Comprehensive Plan Implementation The Orleans Comprehensive Plan charges the Committee with the primary task of helping to preserve 400 or more acres "using Land Bank and (Town) budget appropriated funding, plus private funding." Since the formulation of that objective, over 216 acres were protected or 55% of the 20-year goal. Major efforts by the Orleans Conservation Trust and the Friends of Pleasant Bay through private fund raising for land purchases and through assistance to landowners to preserve land with Conservation Restrictions made a significant addition to the earlier Land Bank efforts. Completing the second half of the 400- acre goal is very important but will be considerably more difficult now that the Land Bank funding has been terminated. It is clear that additional conservation restrictions, private donations, joint public/private efforts and zoning changes will play an increased role in achieving the 400 acre objective of the Plan. Respectfully submitted, Alan McClennen, Jr. Chairman 146 ORLEANS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Orleans Elementary School continues to strive towards meeting the challenges of high academic expectations as set forth in our mission statement. During 2006, the Massachusetts Department of Education expanded its testing program to include Language Arts at grade 5 and Mathematics at grades 3 and 5. This is in addition to Reading at grade 3, Mathematics and English Language Arts at grade 4, and Science and Technology at grade 5. Students' overall performance was ranked very high in the area of English Language Arts and high in the area of Mathematics. Staff has been engaged in a variety of professional development efforts to expand their knowledge and skills. The primary focus of school based training has been in the areas of Literacy in grades 4 and 5 and Narrative Writing and Holistic Rubric Scoring in Kindergarten through grade 4. Representative teachers at grades 5 through 7, as part of a District Writing Committee, have created grade level expectations in the area of expository writing. Fifth grade service providers participated in an Empowering Writers Expository Writing workshop and are currently piloting the new writing expectations. Teachers continue to collaborate in the development of content based units and in the analysis of MCAS results. The Professional Learning Community model of collaboration has expanded with focus on inclusion integration, reading interventions, implementation of state standards and Nauset benchmarks, scoring writing benchmark prompts, technology, and integration of art with technology and English Language Arts. Other forms of professional development have included a Self-Esteem Study Group, specific activities aligned with school and district goals, and conferences targeting individual teacher needs. Educational Assistants have also been provided with opportunities to learn new skills through their three-day trainings in one of the following topics: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Technology, Assisting with Reading in the Inclusion Classroom, Supporting Special Education Students in Math, and Early Reading Interventions. Connecting to Our Artistic Heritage is the thrust of the School Improvement Plan. The goal is to have all students learn about their artistic heritage by investigating the historical and cultural contexts of the arts, learning about the arts in their communities, and using their knowledge of the arts in the study of other disciplines. To that end, there are many cultural activities integrated within the academic program. Highlights of 2006 included presentations by the Cape Cod Community Orchestra; the O.E.S. choral and instrumental groups; community singers (Allegretto), dancers (tap and line), and musicians (Jug Band, Barbershop Expanded Quartet); O.E.S. students in the Star Maiden Production; Valerie Tutson performing Tales from African Traditions; Hyannis Sound; the Spirit of America; and local performing artists. In addition, experiences such as Winter Enrichment, the Art across America Cafe, the Connecting to the Cape Art Show, the Coastal Explorer Traveling Marine Exhibit, the O.E.S. Live and on 147 Stage Theme activities, the Southern Arts Festival, and outreach programs with local museums, writers, and photographers have strengthened the connections between the Arts and students' academic programs. We are most fortunate to have the support of both the School Committee and the Parent Teacher Committee along with the involvement of the community in the school to support enrichment experiences and valuable educational programs connected with local history, dental health, and fire and personal safety. The partnerships that exist between the community and the school enhance the programs that we offer. I take great pride in being a part of a community that values the education of its youngest citizens. Thank you for the many ways in which you demonstrate your commitment to Orleans Elementary School. Respectfully submitted, Gail M. Briere, Principal PARKS & BEACHES For the first time in the history of Nauset Beach the eight miles of beach south of the Nauset Beach Parking lot to the Chatham Inlet was closed to Off Road Vehicle Traffic for thirty-two days. The Orleans Board of Selectmen/Park Commissioners voted to close the area to comply with both the State and Federal Endangered Species Acts for Protection of unfledged Piping Plovers in the Pochet Wash over area. The closure was from June 23, 2006 to July 25, 2006. Chatham closed a portion of the beach from Trail #7 south to the inlet to Off Road Vehicle Traffic from June 5 to August 3, 2006 for the protection of unfledged piping plovers. This closure caused a decline in the number of Off Road Vehicles registered to drive on Nauset Beach with loss of $82,000 in beach revenue. The closure had a ripple effect as all businesses in East Orleans felt a dramatic loss in revenue. in addition restaurants, liquor stores, gas stations, bai t and $arrde oh,n ps, house e rentals and many other businesses in town were directly affected. If we have another thirty-two day closure in 2007 1 am predicting an additional loss of $120,000 in revenue. If the closure is longer than thirty days then the revenue loss for the Town will increase. It is estimated that for every dollar lost to the town it would be five fold to the private sector. On July 2006 the Orleans Board of Selectmen/Park Commissioners voted to terminate the Nauset Beach Joint Management Agreement with the Town of Chatham effective April 30, 2007. The reasons the Board voted to terminate the agreement as the Town of Chatham did not have a Management Plan to operate Chatham's section of Nauset Beach. Due to the fact that Chatham did not have a Piping Plover Monitor working on the beach by April 1St of each year and they were not delineating and protecting Piping Plover and Least Tern habitat caused the State Division of Fish & Wildlife to visit Nauset Beach annually to request 148 Chatham to close portions of their Off Road Vehicle beach in Chatham in 2004, 2005, and 2006, as they were not complying with the State and Federal Endangered Species Act. If not for the aforementioned annual visits by the State Division of Fish and Wildlife then the Town of Orleans would have been able to install snow fence to rebuild the dunes at the Pochet Wash over through local control without state involvement. Local approval was received from the Conservation Commission in early 2005 and we had volunteers to install the fence. Due to the state visits we were told not to proceed with the work. If we had been able to install the snow fence to help rebuild the dune there would have been a 75% chance that the beach would never have been closed in 2006 to Off Road Vehicle travel. As of this writing the Town of Chatham now has a Management Plan and Orleans and Chatham Selectmen have signed a new five year Nauset Beach Joint Management Agreement which is required to be ratified at the 2007 Annual Orleans Town Meeting. Skaket Beach had its own wildlife problems in 2006. Two adult foxes and three pups decided to use Skaket as their play area. The foxes hung around the parking lot and beach during day light hours for over four weeks causing many complaints from citizens. The pups would walk up to children and try to steal their food from blankets and the picnic table area. The staff at Skaket Beach spent countless hours trying to scare the foxes away from the beach. Sale of Daily Parking tickets at Nauset and Skaket fell by 5% while the sales of weekly and seasonal permits decreased by 2%. The price of gasoline and the inclement weather on the weekends were a significant factor in the decrease in sales. The following is a breakdown of Beach revenue for the 2006 season: Daily Parking 551,870 Visitor Stickers 113,423 Off Road Vehicle Permits 420,465 Concession 86,809* Other Various Fees/Fines 5,625 *estimated TOTAL 1,178,192 As stated earlier the sale of Off Road Vehicle Permits decreased primarily due to the thirty two day closure of the beach. Off Road Vehicle Activity was as follows: Orleans Resident Stickers 2031 Chatham Resident Stickers 713 Non-Resident Over Sand Stickers 1714 149 Non-Resident Self Contained Stickers 162 Camp Owner Stickers (Chatham/Orleans) 221 The total times the beach was closed due to daily vehicle limits was eighteen days on the North End and four days on the South End. The Self Contained vehicle limit was reached on three weekends on the south end of Nauset Beach. The addition of the new mail-in Off Road Vehicle program showed a 35% participation rate of the previous year's stickers sold and was a tremendous success. The following are Parking Lot, Beach Patrol and Lifeguard Activities for the 2006 season. Activity Nauset Skaket Pilgrim* First Aids 139 106 10 Major First Aids 7 6 0 Assists/Rescues 22 5 1 Lost Children 24 16 5 No Swimming Allowed 2 0 0 Restricted Swimming 2 1 0 Rescue Squad Response 6 4 0 Fire Responses 0 1 0 Police Response 12 42 10 Vehicle Stops/Warnings 110 4 0 Citations 46 2 8 Court Cases 16 0 0 Stuck Vehicle 47 0 0 Vehicle Fires 2 0 0 Overturned Vehicles 0 0 0 Vehicle Lost in Surf 5 0 0 Numbers of Vehicles Suspended 3 0 0 *No Statistical Data from Aug 10- Sept 5 as no lifeguards at Pilgrim. Monitoring and protection of endangered species continues. This program is mandated by Federal and State Endangered Species acts. This program entails erecting over eight miles of symbolic fencing, installing 400 signs and 600 posts to delineate Off Road Vehicle Corridors and to protect potential habitat for Piping Plovers, Least Terns, Common Terns, and American Oyster Catchers. We are also required to erect exclosures, monitor nests, chick and adults to provide statistical data on hatching success and fledge rates for each nest. The following data was compiled for the 2006 season: Piping Plovers 18 Pairs Least Terns 50 Pairs Common Terns 0 Pairs Roseate Terns 0 Pairs American Oyster Catcher 1 Pair 150 The productivity rate for Piping Plover was 1.22 per nest. Twenty-one Least Tern Chicks fledged. As in the past the number of nests and low success rate for terns and piping plovers was due to storm over washes, predation by coyote, skunk, Black Backed Gulls, and Crows. The Summer Monday Night Concert Series continues to be a success. We have received numerous requests to expand this program. Use of Conservation Area walking trails continues to increase as has the use of the Playground Area at Eldredge Park. We will need to look at finding a location for a second playground. Thanks to the continued generosity of the Orleans Improvement Association we continue to improve and replace planting at various locations in Town. They also generously donated $16,000 for a sprinkler system and some new planting at the Town Office Building. This work will be completed in the spring of 2007. The Parks and Beaches Staff mourned the loss of a dear friend and fellow employee Ron Adams this past year. Joe Welch and Anita Walsh retired, Joe had eighteen years of service and Anita had eleven years of service with the Parks and Beaches Off Road Vehicle Program prior to the 2006 beach season. Their hard work, dedication, ability to handle crisis situations, and always balance at the end of each shift was sorely missed. Thanks and Appreciation to the following groups and volunteers for their time, energy and efforts on behalf of the Town of Orleans. Orleans Improvement Association, Orleans Athletic Association, Rhododendrum Society, Joe Reynolds and Family, Fred Perreault, Robyn Winslow, Mid Cape Home Center, and John Martin, and last but not least to the "Cookie Fairy" Jane Adams who provides energy with the cookies she delivers. I would like to thank all of the Departments for their help and cooperation. Special thanks to the Police, Fire, and Highway Department. Without their help we would not be able to continue to provide all the services we currently provide and to the Council on Aging staff who helped coordinate and the Day Center participants who volunteered their time to fold and stuff the Off Road Rules and Regulations, thank you. To my full time and seasonal staff thank you for another year of hard work and dedication in improving the Parks, Beaches, Conservation and Recreational Facilities. I receive many compliments and know that visitors and taxpayers alike appreciate your efforts. Respectfully Submitted, Paul O. Fulcher Parks & Beaches Superintendent 151 PERSONNEL ADVISORY BOARD On May 2, 2006, the Personnel Advisory Board held a public meeting to consider a proposed Article for the Town Meeting Warrant in May, 2006. The Article was a proposed revision to the Orleans Personnel Bylaw that would fund a cost of living adjustment for employees covered by compensation plans A,B, D and E and the Town Administrator, Director of Municipal Finance, Police Chief and Fire Chief. The total amount for the cost of living adjustment in the Article was $44,600.00. This revision was APPROVED 2-0-0. The Board also welcomed new member Rolf Soderstrom. Rolf replaces Linde MacLeod who resigned in August, 2005. As of this date in 2006, there have been no disputes over the interpretation of the grievance procedure of the Orleans Personnel Bylaw brought before the Board for mediation by any full or part-time town employees who are covered by the Personnel Bylaw. Respectfully submitted, Norris Shook, Chairman PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board focused its zoning review in 2006 on improving the form and function of the Zoning Bylaw. Six amendments were approved by the Town Meeting, including a new Table of Uses, changes to nonconforming uses, and minor changes to the parking regulations. Requirements for the Architectural Review committee were significantly revised to require new development to be V-%Jnslstent w h des,rable design goals. The Planning Board completed its 5-year update of the Orleans Comprehensive Plan, which was subsequently approved by the Town Meeting. As of the update, nearly 80% of the plan actions were completed (49%) or underway (39%). The Board is gratified to serve a community whose residents take seriously their responsibility to plan for the future. The 2006 plan includes updated data and maps, as well as 7 new actions to guide the future activities. The plan has been submitted to the Cape Cod Commission for certification. In 2006, The Planning Board approved seven Definitive Subdivision Plans, which created twenty buildable lots. The Planning Board also endorsed four Approval Not Required Plans, which created nine new buildable lots. Application fees were increased to be more reflective of the staff time required for review and approvals. 152 Three public hearings were held for the trimming or removal of trees; the requests were approved. Planning Board members also represent the Board by serving on other boards/committees: Sims McGrath on the Wastewater Management Steering Committee; Sims McGrath and John Fallender on the Zoning Bylaw Task Force. Respectfully submitted, Sims McGrath, Chairman PLANNING T The Planning Department supports short and long-range activities to protect the character of the community and prepare for appropriate types of future growth. In 2006, the Planning Department provided staff support to numerous committees in pursuit of the goals of the Orleans Comprehensive Plan. Highlights of 2006 include the following: • Supported the Planning Board's 5-year update of the Orleans Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted by the Town Meeting in May. Data, maps, and analyses were brought up to date. The plan will be used for the proceeding 5 years to guide community growth and development, at which time a complete rewrite will be needed. • Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan — Continued work with the Wastewater Management Steering Committee as it works to develop a town-wide wastewater management plan. Supplied consultant with GIS data and analysis to augment work by the Town's consultant. • Updated the Town's Conservation, Recreation, and Open Space Plan, which was approved by the state in order to receive $500,000 in Self-Help funds to offset the purchase of the Peck property. • Acted as the Selectmen's representative to the Regional Transit Authority. Participated in the Flex Working Group that resulted in the establishment of the Flex bus service, the first such service dedicated to the Lower Cape. Ridership in the first year is on track to meet and exceed expectations. • Served as Town liaison to the Cape Cod Commission for a Development of Regional Impact review of the Shaw's grocery store expansion. The project is expected to be completed by June 2007. • Completed the data gathering and review of the proposed wind turbine project in the Town Watershed along with the Wind Energy Committee, which issued its final report in June 2006. • Continued efforts to improve the residential component of the Village Center. Two Zoning amendments are under consideration for the 2007 Town Meeting: (1) to encourage dwellings in commercial structures, and (2) to allow third floor housing provided good design principles are maintained. 153 • Worked with the Pleasant Bay Alliance in its continued efforts to protect and improve the natural resources and ecology of the bay. • Finalized the design for the relocation of Lots Hollow Road, as funded through a state Public Works Economic Development grant. Construction is expected to begin in Fall 2007. • Provided staff support to the Joint Committee on Affordable Housing as it tries to augment housing opportunities for the local workforce. • Worked with the Cape Cod Commission and MassHighway to complete the final design of the improvements to the intersection of Route 28, Finlay Road, and Pond Road. Start date for the project is anticipated Fall 2007. • Made progress on the replacement of the culvert below Skaket Beach Road. The project design has been completed and state and federal permitting are under way. The project will improve tidal exchange to a restricted salt marsh and restore the natural ecosystem to a healthier state. • Provided GIS support and map making services to Town departments for various projects. Completed the annual parcel update in coordination with the Assessing Department. • Developed bathymetric surveys for 18 freshwater ponds throughout the Town. The data will be used to assess pond health and to determine the extent of any mitigation measures. It will also be used for wastewater management planning as needed. The Planning Department is pleased to work with a citizenry that cares for its community and is willing to work through the many issues that need to be addressed. Respectfully Submitted, George Meservey, Director of Planning & Community Development PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE The Pleasant Bay Alliance was formed by Orleans, Chatham and Harwich to coordinate implementation of the Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan adopted in 1998 and updated in 2003. The plan incorporates the Pleasant Bay Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) and the 20,680-acre watershed, which includes portions of the three towns and Brewster. The Alliance develops public policy recommendations, technical studies and public education tools to support the Bay's natural resources and the public's safe enjoyment of Pleasant Bay. The final Technical Report for Pleasant Bay developed under the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP) was released in May 2006. The report, entitled Linked Watershed-Embayment Model to Determine Critical Nitrogen Loading Thresholds for the Pleasant Bay System, Orleans, Chatham, Brewster and Harwich, Massachusetts, was the culmination of five years of system-wide data collection, computer modeling and analysis. 154 The report provides the scientific basis for the draft Pleasant Bay System Total Maximum Daily Loads for Total Nitrogen (TMDL) Report developed by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) in accordance with the Federal Clean Water Act. The draft report was released for public comment in August 2006. The Alliance worked with the MEP and MassDEP on the development of the reports, provided extensive comments to the agencies on the Technical Report and draft TMDL Report and assisted in coordinating the public meetings around the reports. The Technical Report and TMDL Report provide the foundation for comprehensive wastewater planning that is underway in the watershed towns. The Alliance convened a regional work group to discuss the strategies for the towns to work together in coordinating the development and implementation of wastewater management plans for the Pleasant Bay watershed. Other highlights from 2006 include: • The sixth full season of bay-wide water quality monitoring was successfully completed; • The first Pleasant Bay Symposium, entitled Understanding and Managing a Dynamic Coastal System, was attended by more than 200 people; and • Design of a salt marsh monitoring program and a tide gauge monitoring program was initiated. In addition to Technical Resource Committee and Steering Committee members appointed by the Board of Selectmen, the Alliance is fortunate to have active participation from the Cape Cod Commission, Cape Cod National Seashore, MA Department of Environmental Protection, MA Division of Conservation and Recreation, MA Coastal Zone Management, Woods Hole Sea Grant and Cape Cod Cooperative Extension, Friends of Pleasant Bay and Friends of Chatham Waterways. On behalf of the Alliance we wish to thanks the citizens of Orleans for your ongoing support. Respectfully submitted, Arnold Henson, Steering Committee Judith Bruce, Steering Committee POLICE T T The greatest asset of the Police Department is its personnel, both the sworn officers and civilian staff. Fortunately there were very few changes in our staff in 2006 and we continued to emphasize training and continuing education as a high Department priority. Department Supervisors have attended Command Training Courses through Roger Williams University and the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association program. Patrol Officers have received training in Community Policing, legal updates, and have attended many specialized training sessions in areas such as crime prevention, interviewing 155 techniques, bike patrol, and investigative procedures. Several Officers have been involved in a series of training classes dealing with abused and missing children, internet crime, and combating problems related to internet sites such as "My Space". Hopefully the School Resource Officer concept will be adopted in the near future as it is my hope for officers to be more involved with youth. Two officers, Sergeant Sean Diamond and Officer Duane Boucher, received advanced training in accident reconstruction and are members in the Cape Cod Law Enforcement Accident reconstruction Team. Serious accidents need the expertise of trained investigators not only to determine fault but also to examine causes so that they may be reduced or eliminated. Through fair enforcement, education, and suggestions for road engineering, we successfully reduced accidents from 551 in 2004, 454 in 2005 and another reduction to 438 in 2006. Planning for special events, especially in the summer is always a challenge. Lt. Kevin Wells has worked hard to develop written action plans for every major event we are fortunate enough to host in the community. The Orleans Police Department is committed to providing the citizens we serve with continuously improving police service. We constantly meet to discuss our responses in the past and to ask how we can improve the response in the future. It is our intention to provide the citizens of Orleans with the highest level of police service possible. Through training, technology and professional management, the Orleans Police Department will stand ready to confront any law enforcement task. We are a "Full Service" Police Department and are able to provide the public service benefits that many departments cannot currently offer. It is my hope that your contacts with our department are positive and productive. In December, one long time member of the police department, Detective David Hagstrom, retired. Losing a knowledgeable experienced investigator is difficult for any organization but we wish him well in his retirement. Detectives Kevin Higgins and Missy Marshall have been working hard and have solved many difficult and challenging cases. It is my pleasure to present the 2006 Annual Report of the Orleans Police Department. It is the goal of the officers and staff of your police department to maintain a proactive approach to all public safety concerns. We are dedicated to provide excellent service, reduce crime and enhance the quality of life in our community. We are very proud of our website; so if you haven't done so, please visit it at www.Orleanspd.com. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey J.

The Department offers quality recreational programming for all ages. Utilizing school facilities and the exceptional town parks and beaches,and employing a dedicated group of volunteer coaches and a professional summer staff, Orleans makes available to the year-round, as well as seasonal population, healthy social and physical programs. Fall programs available at our outdoor fields at the Orleans Elementary School are: instructional soccer for grades K-2, girl's soccer grade 3-6, boy's soccer grade 3- 6,Senior Tennis at the Eldredge Park courts, field hockey was held at the Nauset Regional High School for grade 3-6. Fall participants numbered 180. In the Winter, movement and ball skills was offered for pre-schoolers through grade 1, instructional basketball for grade 2, team basketball for grades 3 and 4, grade 5 and 6, grade 7 and 8, and high school grades 9-12. Girls and boys were in their own separate programs. Adult basketball was offered 1 evening per week. The total number of participants were 190 youth and 18 adult. 157 During the Spring, instructional softball and baseball for grades 1-2, was held at Orleans Elementary School fields, softball and baseball for boy's and girl's grade 3 and 4 and for grades 5 and 6 was held at Orleans Elementary and the Town Hall fields. Junior Babe Ruth for 13-14-15 year olds was held at the high school and at Eldredge Park. Senior Tennis was held at the Eldredge Park courts. Total youth participation numbers were 200 and adult participants 25. The Annual Easter Egg Hunt once again was held at Sea Call Farm on Tonset Road. Summer activities included; the morning program at Orleans Elementary, arts and crafts, tennis lessons for youth and adult, swim lessons for youth and adult at Pilgrim Lake and Meetinghouse Pond (American Red Cross), Senior Tennis at Eldredge Park, and the Youth Center at the Community Center, 44 Main Street, was open 3-4 evenings offering foosball, movies, video games, ping gong, air hockey and a full-size pool table. Youth participants numbered 405 and adult participants 44. The Lower Cape Open Tennis Tournament was run for the third year out of Willy's Gym in North Eastham, utilizing their indoor and outdoor courts. The Finch Skateboard Park run by Together We Can and managed by the 3 Regional Recreation Directors from Brewster, Orleans and Eastham continued to offer attractive hours of supervised activities throughout the summer, fall and spring.

Responses by the Committee are not statutory or enforcing, but are advisory to all parties, and especially to the Board of Selectmen. The Committee initiates relevant projects on its own, projects that improve its observation skills and advisory judgments. The members of the Committee come from diverse interests and backgrounds with respect to the Town's waters. They represent family and commercial fishermen, aquaculturists, boaters, and waterfront landowners. In 2006, we continued to observe pressure on our Harbormaster/Shellfish Department. The demands for water access, boat launching, parking and moorings increase year to year and are particularly acute in the summer. The Department improves, administers, and polices our fishing and other water blessings to the benefit of all that use and enjoy them. Orleans was once a part of Eastham, and reciprocity in their bodies of water was mandated when they split. However, rules, fees and activities are not the same in each town, and this causes occasional stress. The Selectmen and the Shellfish Departments of the two towns are being asked to consider these differences for possible improvement. We continue to be grateful to Dawson Farber, our Harbormaster/Shellfish Constable, who shares with and encourages the Committee greatly. He has also helped us to work on such hands-on projects as the maintenance of the herring run at Pilgrim Lake and the investigation of Cedar Pond herring viability. 159 4 In the past year, we have seen the resignation of Bob Metcalfe, who has given a number of able and faithful years to our work. We welcomed to our work new member Bill Mitchell. Respectfully submitted, Gerry Dorman, Chairman SITE PLAN REVIEW MITTS The Site Plan Review Committee reviews commercial development projects involving new construction, significant additions, and changes of use. The committee is authorized by the Zoning Bylaw to ensure that all development plans meet the review criteria and are in compliance with town regulations. The committee reviews information submittals to provide low-cost guidance on prospective developments. The formal review process requires the submission of professionally prepared plans. Site Plan Review Committee members represent the following departments: Building, Conservation, Fire, Health, Highway, Planning, and Water. In 2006, sixteen Site Plan Review Committee meetings were held. Seven Informal Site Plan Reviews and six Formal Site Plan Reviews were completed and approved, including the Barley Neck Village condominiums, reconstruction of Shaw's grocery store, an 11-unit condominium project at the former site of Miss Rogers Flower Shop, and a major expansion to Orleans Toyota. In all its deliberations, the committee aims to provide a comprehensive, objective review of development proposals in order to safeguard public health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics. Respectfully submitted, George Meservey, Chairman SNOWLIBRARY In an era when our youth seem obsessed with the latest hand-held Nintendo game, Snow Library is taking a stand for reading. Our gentle general in this battle for books is Susan Kelley, Snow's Youth Services Librarian. As early as 1999, she started her Mother & Daughter Book Club for third graders and above, which was soon followed by a Parent & Son Book Club. These proved so successful that in 2006 she introduced the Youngest Critics Book Club, where first and second graders meet monthly to discuss their favorite books. In all, Ms. Kelley organized 134 programs attracting 2,378 children. This past year also saw the second exhibit featuring the photographs of H.K. Cummings and the publication of a second book. Exhibit and book focus on various forms of work common on the Outer Cape from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the period in which Cummings operated his dry-good store and took pictures. Central to the Cummings project is the ongoing effort to preserve and catalogue H.K.'s photographs, under the direction of Snow archivist Bobi Eldridge. The collection, kept in the new Archive/Special Collection Room, may be viewed by the public and prints can be purchased. All requests are made through the reference librarian. 160 Less our efforts toward print books and old pictures cast Snow as a Luddite, 2006 saw our continued commitment to new technologies to expand the public's access to books in all forms and information from all points of the globe. Of course we draw from our own collection, but can quickly and efficiently reach out to other libraries for books, CDs and answers to a wide range of reference needs. In addition, patrons can sign up to use one of the libraries computers; those with laptops and wireless cards can reach the Internet from anywhere in the building. The library's collection included 63,993 items, with 57,647 books, 3,124 audio books, video and music CDs, 2,624 films in VHS or DVD, and other materials in microforms, CD/ROM, plus numerous network transfers and interlibrary loans. Circulation of library-owned materials totaled 174,953 transactions. The per capita numbers of items loaned and the percentage of library users in the population remain among the highest in the country. The library served 9,928 registered borrowers, and reference librarians fielded 7,650 queries. Lifetime Learning, provided by the Friends of Snow Library, included such courses as Mind in the Movies, Chaucer in the Afternoon, and Shellfish and Water Quality. The Sundays at Snow programs included lecturers on such subjects as Aerial Perspective of Cape Cod's Marine Wildlife, The Rise of Tourism on Cape Cod after the Civil War, and music programs by "Oyez!" (Renaissance Music quintet). In all, there were 286 adult programs in 2006, attracting 8,251 people. As always, the principal initiative, staffing and backing for the Library's many successful volunteer programs came from The Friends, one of the largest such groups in the Commonwealth. Friends-supported Library activities included: book mending; shelving and shelf reading; magazine maintenance; mail and newspaper pickup; support of children's programs; book discussion group; and book deliveries to nursing homes and senior housing. They also contributed approximately $18,000 to support the library collection The Snow Library Endowment Fund has a five-member board of directors comprised of two Friends, two Trustees and a jointly named fifth member chosen from the community at large. The Endowment Fund board keeps an open channel of communication with Snow's Trustees, monitoring the library's needs, ready to add its support to that of the town, the state, the Friends and the many residents who favor the library with their generosity. In 2006, the Fund contributed $10,000 to support library activities and operation. Memorial gifts in 2006 were received in honor of the lives of Rita Tracy, Patricia Rotman, Karolyn "Killy" Cole, Winifred Feightner, Katherine Smith O'Brien, Paul Flaherty, Ralph and Mildred Chamberlin, Cheryl Rene Dederick, Merwin Rubin and Rosemary von Schlegell. All contributions were used to improve the library's collection and programs. For all that was positive at Snow in 2006, there was deep sadness at the death of longtime trustee Henry Scammell who suffered a heart attack while fishing last summer off Monomoy Island. Henry was a tireless worker for the library, and he wrote the text for the first two Cummings book. We will all miss his wit and good sense. 161 Snow Library would like to thank all the town departments for their help, in particular, Peter Vandyck (Information Systems Manager for Orleans), the Parks Department for its assistance in keeping our building and grounds safe and attractive, and the Highway Department for keeping the parking lot clear. The Board of Trustees and the entire staff of Snow Library are grateful for the continued support of the Town of Orleans and we look forward to maintaining the tradition of excellent library service in 2007. Respectfully submitted, Jim Botsford, Chairman SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS The Nauset Schools, including the elementary schools of Orleans, Brewster, Eastham, and Wellfleet, have established themselves among the best in Massachusetts, even as Massachusetts has been recognized a national leader in student achievement. In 2006, our attention turned to sustaining this performance for years to come, so students yet to enroll in our schools will enjoy the same quality and breadth of program our current students do. To this end, Nauset hosted a series of forums on Sustainable School Budgets, bringing together state and local officials from the Lower Cape and Beacon Hill to share concerns and seek solutions. Not withstanding the change in state administration, Senator O'Leary and Representative Turner cautioned participants not to expect significant increases in local aid in the immediate future. Both were interested in suggestions that might save money, rather than subsidize school operations, such as regulatory relief, wind power, or local option revenues. Within the school department, we seek other revenues, especially for initiatives outside the traditional academic program. Nauset School Committee members Marie Enochty and Rick Wood have joined staff and community members from eight Lower Cape towns to establish artsLink, the Youth-Arts Foundation. We have high hopes artsLink will enable our students to connect with and learn from the Cape's vigorous and talented visual, performing, and literary arts comet unity. And at Nauset High, our new Wellness Program was jump-started by a private donation which will enable the remodeling of a custodial/storage area into a Wellness Center serving students, staff, and perhaps even some of the Lower Cape's disabled adults. Public education has changed dramatically in just a decade, and there is no end to change in sight. As we in the school department adjust to new expectations and higher standards, we take great comfort in your steadfast support of our efforts. We are, after all, public schools, and we strive every day to be worthy of the public we serve. Respectfully submitted, Michael B. Gradone, Superintendent of Schools 162 TOWN HALL BUILDING COMMITTEE The Building Committee is happy to report that the new Town Hall open is open for business. The construction phase of the project that started in January of 2006 was completed on schedule in January 2007 and within the original $6.5 million budget approved by the voters in November 2005. The building was designed around the concept of renovating the historic 1923 schoolhouse and adding a similar structure behind the 1923 building. The result is architecturally pleasing to the townspeople. It is an efficient, modern facility in which to conduct the Town's business. The J K Scanlan Company of Falmouth was awarded a construction contract in 2006. They were selected for their record of on-time performance and high quality workmanship. The Town had rejected the low bid from another company who immediately brought suit against the town. The Town Counsel, working closely with the Town Administrator and members of the Building Committee, successfully defended the Town's decision to award the contract to Scanlan and won the suit in Boston District Court. . The Town Hall staff moved into trailers situated in the Legion Hall parking area and has operated successfully there throughout the year. The Town Hall staff has been an integral part of the entire design and construction process. The staff has participated in interior color selections, furniture selection and layout of their office working space. The construction has proceeded smoothly throughout the year. There has been excellent cooperation between the Town and the J K Scanlan Company team. Building Committee representatives attended weekly meetings with the contractor and assisted town officials in monitoring schedule progress, addressed construction issues and any resulting change order cost submissions. The level of problems that were to be expected in any project (that included the renovation of a historic 1923 building) were all resolved without adversely affecting the schedule and within the contingency monies that had been budgeted. Prior to construction, the Town made a decision to hire a Project Manager/ Clerk of the Works that reported directly to the Town Administrator. This decision has worked extremely well and is hereby recommended to the Selectmen and Town Administrator for other future Town construction projects. We, the townspeople of Orleans, now have a sturdy Town Hall building that has been built to modern standards and that meets all federal, state and local codes. It is a safe, pleasant and healthy workplace for the Town Hall Staff and citizens to conduct their business. The Building Committee wishes to thank all those that helped make this project a success especially our Selectwoman Liason Margie Fulcher, Town Administrator John Kelly, Town Clerk Cynthia May and Project Manager Ron Collins. Respectfully submitted Edward Daly, Chairman 163 VETERANS' GRAVES OFFICER The year 2006 saw a year that weather wise was much easier to manage than the previous year. Because of the storm on December 9th 2005 about 99% of the flags had to be replaced in 2006. The week before Memorial Day again saw Brian Bates and several vans of students from Lighthouse Charter School arrive to assist in the planting of a geranium at each Veteran's grave. This task of planting some 580 plants was accomplished in a little less than 1 '/Z hours. Without their assistance I'm not sure how I could do it. Again I'm truly grateful for their participation in this project and hope they will continue with this assistance next year. I know I mention this each year but it needs mentioning again. If you know of a grave that I have missed placing a marker and flag on please let me know. Also if a flag is worn or missing from a grave please don't remove the flag or stick as this makes it much more difficult for me to spot the grave so that a new flag can be placed. Respectfully submitted, Peter Howerton, Veterans' Grave Officer VET A S'S VICES Veterans' Services in 2006 was extremely busy enrolling 46 Veterans into the VA Health Care System and processing over 1200 VA cases on several different levels of services. The Veterans in Orleans received in federal benefits over one million dollars from the VA. There are many benefits that are available and we encourage all Veterans to contact our Office by calling 1-800-778-8701. We will arrange an appointment either at your home, at the Town Hall or at our Offices in Harwich or Hyannis. We try and make the appointment a "One-Stop" appointment so all your Veterans needs are met either on the Federal, State or local level. Respectfully Submitted, Sidney L. Chase, Veterans Agent; Norman Gill, Regional Veterans Agent; & Edward Merigan, Assistant Veterans Agent. VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION OF CAPE COD The Visiting Nurse Association of Cape Cod is a not-for-profit certified health agency that provides home health care, health promotion, immunization and educational programs to the communities of Cape Cod. The V.N.A. continues to provide both the town-sponsored public health programs, and the third party reimbursement home health services for the residents of Orleans. Specialty Care includes the following: Skilled Nursing, High Tech I.V. Therapies, Psychiatric Nursing, Maternal-Child Health, Enterostomal Therapy, Medical Social Work, Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy, Home Health Aides, Private Services Nursing, Hospice & Palliative Care, Home Health Aides, and Homemakers. Wellness Programs include the following: Community Education, Support Groups, Immunization Clinics, Health Screenings, Worksite Wellness, Child Day Programs, 164 Adult Day Health Programs, Prostate, Breast, and Cervical Cancer Initiatives, a Senior Exercise Program (Young at Heart), the Mobile Health Link Van, Medical Interpreters, and Senior Information Services. The Orleans Town appropriation enabled the V.N.A. of Cape Cod to provide the following services for residents of Orleans in the year 2006: 2 certified home nursing visits to adults; 2 physical therapy visits; 1 medical social worker visit; 6 home visits to new mothers and babies; 9 immunizations at town clinics for resident adults and children, and 22 immunizations for resident children at the Nauset Middle School. In addition to these immunizations, 846 flu and 34 pneumonia immunizations were provided. Weekly blood pressure screening clinics provided 409 blood pressures screens, 40 residents were screened for cholesterol, 40 residents were screened for glucose, 16 residents were screened for skin cancer, 32 residents were screened for colorectal cancer, 32 residents were screened for bone density, and 8 cases of communicable disease were investigated for the Town of Orleans and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. 5 community wellness programs were provided, and also a Health Fair at the Orleans Council on Aging. The VNA Public Health Nurse completed 28 home visits for assessment and referrals. In addition to the funding sources such as Medicare, Mass Health, Private insurance or Town Appropriation, the V.N.A. actively seeks funds through grants, and philanthropy. These funds are needed to broaden the scope of community services offered and to help support needed home health services for those Orleans residents whose health insurance coverage is inadequate or nonexistent. The V.N.A. is committed to and continually striving toward understanding and meeting the needs of the community. Please feel free to address any questions or comments to the Community Services and Programs of the V.N.A., located at our Dennis office, telephone 877-267-7700. Respectfully submitted, Carole Sandquist, Public Health Contracts Coordinator WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT STEERING COMMITTEE In 2006, several milestones were reached in the development of a comprehensive wastewater management plan (CWMP). The first of the anticipated water quality reports was delivered for Pleasant Bay from the Massachusetts Estuaries Project and DEP. The report identifies the maximum amount of nitrogen loading that Pleasant Bay can assimilate and remain a healthy ecosystem. Based on the report, 52% of nitrogen that currently enters the bay from septic systems must be removed. The MEP report was the precursor to the Department of Environmental Protection's issuance of Total Maximum Daily Limits (TMDLs), which set the regulatory loading limits to protect water quality. Similar reports for Nauset Estuary and each of the three Cape Cod Bay creeks are expected to be delivered in 2007. The committee made major strides toward the development of a town-wide wastewater management plan by hiring the engineering firm of Wright-Pierce. Wright- Pierce is a leader in wastewater management engineering, and is able to evaluate and design both traditional sewering and innovative management alternatives. Under the contract with Wright-Pierce, and in conjunction with the Planning Department, the 165 Needs Assessment component of the plan was completed. The next step, begun in 2006, is to evaluate the many alternatives for collection, treatment and disposal technology in order to select options that make sense for Orleans. Because Orleans shares its waters with neighboring towns, the committee has worked to develop a sense of shared responsibility for the protection of intermunicipal watersheds. The Pleasant Bay Alliance has been instrumental in encouraging cooperation between towns, and similar efforts will be needed when the water quality reports are received for the other estuaries. The Department of Environmental Protection is aware of the intermunicipal issues and is still formulating its policies on TMDL enforcement to be fair and equitable to towns with shared water bodies. 2007 is expected to be even busier, as the committee anticipates the development of conceptual plans for necessary severing. The plans will include options for centralized and decentralized (such as package plants) systems. Options will be evaluated based on numerous criteria, including capital costs, operational requirements, maintenance, availability of disposal sites, environmental concerns, permitting, and other criteria. In anticipation of bringing the CWMP to the Town Meeting for approval, the committee will also recommend an administrative structure for implementing the plan. The idea presently being considered is to change the Board of Water Commissioners to a Water & Sewer Commission. Changes to the Home Rule Charter will be needed, and will be recommended to the Charter Review Committee in 2007. The committee recognizes that the development of a town-wide CWMP is a significant step forward for Orleans. Throughout the planning process, public comment is encouraged so that the plan will be highly reflective of the interests and needs of the town's residents. At each significant milestone, a public workshop will be held to explain the plan proposal and receive input from interested citizens. Respectfully submitted, Augusta McKusick, Chair 2006 came to a close with unusually mild winter temperatures, just the opposite of the previous winter that presented us with record amounts of snow. Where 2005 was hot and dry, 2006 was rainy. During May and June alone, there was over 18 inches of rain, 270% of the norm. Water consumption for 2006 was naturally impacted, down almost 9% from the prior year. We were fortunate to have been able to offset the downturn in consumption by the first rate increase in almost 4 years. The Department's dedication to fiscal responsibility was further demonstrated by closing the year $62,000 under budget. At the time of this writing the Orleans Water Treatment Plant will have been in operation for nearly 22 months of continuous service. Orleans can be proud that it is supplied with potable water from a state-of-the-art facility that uses ultra filtration membranes to eliminate iron and manganese and provide a barrier to particles as small as bacteria and viruses. 166 The Department's staff has gained invaluable experience in the operation of this membrane facility. A great deal of fine tuning and operational improvements have been completed to insure a safe, reliable and cost efficient source of supply. By year end the bidding process was completed for the Improvements Project that will complete our efforts to increase the efficiency of the Plant. The project will increase the production capacity of the Plant, improve the membrane cleaning process and insure greater than 99% efficiency of recycled waste water. The new plant operates each and every day supplying 60 to 100 percent of the Town's water. Only a few treatment plants across the country can match, or compete with the technology we use to produce drinking water. Experience has only increased our excitement in being able to produce and provide the Best Water on the Cape. In 2005 we reported that 337 water meters were replaced. The Department set a goal to nearly double that number with 600 new Radio Read Meter installations. By December 31't, 701 installations had been completed, 33% more than the original goal. Radio Read Meters allow staff to take water meter readings remotely, without entering the household and by simply driving by the location. Our plan is to help maintain current staffing levels by fully utilizing this Radio Read technology. Peak demand management and public education programs demonstrated continued success. Data analysis continues to show a declining trend in consumption, a credit to everyone's efforts to conserve. To augment the department's outreach efforts, new technology was made available to our customers to make it possible to detect a leak and read their water meter through an automated process. Using the same radio read technology that staff uses, a customer can place an index card sized Remote Meter Reader in any room in their home that will alarm if there is a leak and display gallons used. The Department supplies the equipment at cost with a nominal fee charged for installation and set up. Department staff completed improvements projects that included the installation of 3- dry wells to improve drainage of the water treatment plant's wastewater drying beds and the cleaning of Storage Reservoir no. 1. Cleaning Tank no. 1 was a major initiative that required isolating the tank from the system and coordinating production operations to maintain adequate supply and pressure to the system. Maintenance projects continued with the repair of 19 main breaks and leaks. 150 fire hydrants were inspected and repaired and 701 water meters replaced. During 2006, the Board of Water Commissioners devoted significant efforts to the following matters: • Reviewed Water Department Policies and Procedures and updated Chapter 196 Water Department Rules and Regulations. • Reviewed and updated the Orleans Watershed Management Plan. • Analyzed the Department financials and instituted a nominal rate increase. • Assumed responsibility for Wind Energy Project once the Town's committee was dissolved (having completed its mission). We would like to express our appreciation to the water department personnel, the other town departments and the residents of the Town of Orleans for their assistance, cooperation and support during the past year. 167 PUMPING STATISTICS 2005 2006 Pumping (gal.) 360,767,646 331,642,469 Largest Day (gal.) 2,517,380 (8/20/05) 2,351,654 (8/03/06) Largest Week (gal.) 14,576,228 (8/7-8/13/05) 14,532,279 (7/30-8/5/06) Services 5,051 5,154 Respectfully submitted, Board of Water Commissioners WIND to COMMITTEE The Wind Energy Committee, in its fourth year, completed the tasks established by the Selectmen in their Charge issued in June 2003.

The year was the busiest for the Committee with activities ranging from financial feasibility, economic benefit analysis, watershed protective conditions, electrical interconnection application, drafting of potential lease and request for proposal documents, alternate site configurations, all of which were discussed with advice and input of other town boards and with citizen input at the monthly and additional committee meetings that were held. Voters continued to show overwhelming support of the wind energy project by approving, at the May Annual Town Meeting and October Special Town Meeting, alternative lease locations in the watershed to minimize environmental impacts.
